#93542 - Win32 API for serial comms Responding to: ???'s previous message |
As long as you use the Win32 API (CreateFile, ReadFile, WriteFile, SetCommTimeouts, etc.) then in my experience it the same on all versions of Windows, from 95 to XP.
I agree with Andrew on this one, with a simple modification. Do your development on 2000 or XP (preferably XP). If it works in XP it will also work on 2000/ME/98/95. It is possible to craft a version on 95/98/ME that doesn't work on 2000/XP. My memory is foggy on the details (I found out the hard way a few years ago), but I think the implementation of FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED may have changed somewhat over the OS versions. http://www.CodeProject.com has some good info on it.
