DJGPP is for DOS not Windows. The Windows serial API is not available
for DJGPP and IMHO should never be made avaialble as it is such a
horrible API. There are Windows serial libraries available from
www.codeproject.com that have similar API to some of the serial
libraries available fro DJGPP.

There are a number of serial libraries available for DJGPP, they are
available from the V2TK directory. Be aware that the latest PMCOM and
DZCOMM are not available from the V2TK directory. If you do decide to
use these please email me.
