    Send ASCII characters via serial port

    I would like to send ascii characters to a serial port LCD-display using C++ in a console application. How is this done in the simplest way possible?

    The best thing for me is if there is some free code to use in my application.

    OS: XP, VC++6

    Thanks,
    Kristian

    STL Util a small headers-only library with various utility functions. Mainly for fun but feedback is welcome.

    Hello,
    Are you still working on finding a solution? Personally, I am using a class that comes from "Serial Communications Developer's Guide" by Mark Nelson. I'll email you in private some files.

    The main method syntax is:
    m_ port = new Win32Port("COM2", 19200);
    status= m_port->read(buffer, qty_chars);
    status=m_port->write( buffer, qty_chars);
