Need some help with Serial Communication

**vsriharsha** · 02-25-2002

Hi all,
can ny one of u help me with a serial communication program that i am trying to write.
The functionality to be achieved is that I open a file (a text file) and send it through COM1 and it should be displayed on the screen as and when the characters are received at COM 2 (A NULL-MODEM Cable is connecting them both).
I need to know if I have to follow any protocol or is it just enough if i send the characters one by one and run the recieve function in a constant loop until i send the EOF char (after i finish the file). (BOTH FUNCTIONS are RUNNING at the same time in two different MS-DOS windows).

Plz. Help Me out Soon.

Regards

hi,

there is no requirement of using any protocol,

you can send the file directly,

only thing to be taken care all the carriage return '\r' in the
transmitter file is to be replaced by '\n' in the receiever if the
both files are to be similar ,try this out it will work ,

mail me if it works,
