Source included. Author: Jim Steichen (jimbot@frontiernet.net) Uploader: Jim Steichen (jimbot@frontiernet.net) Type: dev/src Version: 2.0 Requires: C-Compiler of some sort. This is a collection of functions that control the Amiga Serial device fully. They differ from most other functions in that they time-out if there is no response from the PC that's connected at the other end of the serial cable. The object file (TimedSerialPPC.o) was produced by gcc V2.95 (see enclosed MakeFile) on an AmigaOne under OS4.0. The object file (TimedSerial.o) was produced by SAS-C V6.58 (see enclosed SMakeFile) on an A4000T under OS3.9. See the enclosed AmigaGuide file for documentation on how the functions work! HISTORY 28-Oct-2004 - Added AmigaOS4 & gcc support. 25-Dec-2002 - Added a boolean flag to each function that uses the timer in order to control whether the timer uses microseconds or seconds. Also modified the TranslateErrorNumber function to return a string with incorrect error number values (V2.0). 28-Sep-2000 - Added the serName parameter to the OpenSerial() function (V1.1). 30-Dec-1998 - Added GetErrNum() & GetSerialStatus() (V1.0) 06-Nov-1996 - Created.
