Thanks, I use DJGPP basically for testing circuit boards through the
serial or parallel ports. Right now I just use the command line, but
it would be nice to have a GUI and some graphical outputs. I have
considered learning Allegro to do this. I believe DJGPP and DOS are
still the best ways of accessing ports rather than fighting windows
with MinGW.
