Short: SAS 6.56 source code for an object oriented C++ Serial Port class Author: cimino@mdso.vf.ge.com (Paul Cimino) Uploader: cimino mdso vf ge com (Paul Cimino) Type: dev/src Architecture: m68k-amigaos December 12, 1995 This package contains the source code for an object oriented C++ serial port class. The basic idea is to make simple access to the serial port trivial. The port can be instantiated with few parameters, allowing all else to default. Port parameters can be changed on the fly with Set functions. Simple character/ubyte or string input output. Character and string IO also supported with overloaded stream functions. I wish I had time to be a full time developer for the Amiga, but can find little time as it is. So I am very weak on Amiga specific interface programming. This SerialClass program is an attempt to make (at least) one aspect of the Amiga easy to code, with little required knowledge of the machine. Simply look in the header file for port functionality and GO ! Package contains SerialClass.cc, SerialClass.h and EXAMPLE.cc This is Version 1.0, and I don't plan on releasing another version, HOWEVER I am releasing this into the public domain (stipulations in the file) and hope that other people will improve upon and rerelease other versions of this code. Someone may want to create a "DeviceClass" where the SerialClass is a sub-class. I started out this way, but got too bogged down. Comments, are welcome, also if anyone is working object oriented classes for the Amiga, I'd be interested in getting a copy. Wish list : Child process or fork class Parallel port class GUI classes (yes, I know some are available, but more are always welcome !) Floppy interface class SCSI, CD, any and all hardware devices, etc ! Paul Cimino cimino@mdso.vf.ge.com
