    You don't state your OS. If you are using Windows, look up the CreateFile() API function, particulaly the section dealing with communication resources.

    Hi Adrianxw,

    Thanks for your reply well you asked for OS I have to do this on DOS and as well as on WIndows and I dont want to use API of Windows. If you have any other option please reply me

    Thanks

    If you don't want to use the API, then you'll have to find some kind of library that will wrap the API up for you. Try searching google, there are many such libraries.

    I know nothing about DOS.
