Compiled and ran the program on my NEC Versa V/50 (compiling is a bit slow on a 486, hmmm...) and sent text files over the serial port from my other laptop. First I tried 19200bps, no problem. Then I tried 115200bps and there was some byte droppage. Then I specified a receive buffer: open com "COM1:115200,n,8,1,cs0,cd0,ds0,rs,rb16384" as #ff1 this yielded no bytes missing at first, later in the file after the screen had been scrolling there was some droppage (presumably the buffer was full?) FreeBASIC's text output (PRINT statement) is fairly slow it seems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
