(sorry if I am posting a known issue)

I am porting linux C codes to DJGPP/windows. Migration has not been very 
difficult except for one of the modules that reads/writes from/to serial 
port (/dev/ttyS* -> COM*). Linux version opens the port (fd = 
open("/dev/ttyS0") and then use read() and write() to receive and send 
data.

I rewrote open, send and receive functions using bioscom(...). Opening and 
writing functions work fine, however reading justs gets the last character 
received by the serial port.

I have seen (and test) programs using Win32API/dev-cpp (SetupComm ...) that 
interact with serial port like a regular file. I'm looking for similar 
functions with djgpp. Is it possible to read a stream of bytes received by 
the serial port, not just a single one?

Thanks in advance


PD: I dont know if pmcom could be a solution. I tried to compile it, but it 
failed.
