Mark, afaik there isn't a way of reading com ports for xp/w7 etc in the fpc
win distro at the moment -hope you'll be able to hack it soon either as part
of the distro or as a contrib!
Or did I miss something?
In Windows you use CreateFile and (Read|Write)File.
(Set|Get)CommState, EscapeCommFunction, and friends do the serial port
specific stuff.
There is no nice cross platform pascal implementation included in
freepascal, though, to my knowledge. They exist in other packages, as
you've probably seen on this list.
[Nod] There's obviously Synaser, but there's also the freeware TComPort
by Dejan Crnila which is well-regarded by Delphi hackers with unusual
requirements.
