But that's what libs are for. Hide the implementation, let the OS or the

Independant of the platform.

Thanks for the offer. I got it fully working without messing around with
UARTS and hardware I don't want to know or I don't want to assume that
it exists on the PC the programm is running at.

On the uC side, my attitude is quite the inverse.

Sorry if you got that wrong. I just do the development under Windows
(because of the envorinment).
