Reading status of serial port pins

DMT · 2003-08-09 16:58:13

Can someone post some code that will read the level of the com port (RS232) lines under MSDOS/Windows? I'm trying to write a small decoder program for an interface that uses only the CTS line of the serial port for it's output, to provide either logic 1 or logic 0.

No. Its been too long. From a purely windows (32) point of view look at the GetComm**** API calls, notably the GetCommMask call with a mask of EV_CTS. I really don't remember the DOS stuff anymore.
