Re: API Serial Functions

How about the NLSerial functions that were written at Philips Research by Albert Geven & co? Are they still in the list archives? I still have a copy. Not sure how they would feel about someone distributing them for profit, but you could ask. Here is Albert's address from the doc file(old): Albe
