Accessing COM ports in Win32

[Oraklet på første]

Hi NG!

I'm in a desperate need to use an ordinary COM-port! Limitted time (has to
be finished the 5. of november)
I had some code, but i just messed my workspace up! So I'm quite lost here,
please help !

I truly hope that some of You can and will help me out on this issue.

My problem consists of 3 parts:
1) Configureing the COM port!
2) Send a byte or collection of bytes (string)
3) Recieve a byte or collection of bytes (string)

It has to be simple. no handshake or flow control.
something like this: 19200 Baud, 8 bits, No parity, 1 stop (19200,8,N,1)

FYI!
I'm programming in Microsofts Visual C++ v.6

I have been looking on the Internet after some guidelines on how to use the
COM thing under Windows XP

But all of what I have found so far, is not that easy to use as I had hoped
for!

Should anyone have a source example that works I will be glad !

Kind Regards and best wishes
