Here is an OWL serial program written for Borland Turbo C++ 3.1 .

Most of it was taken from the program file wmseri.zip and also from the
book "Windows Programmer's Guide to Serial Communications" by
Timothy S. Monk.
Both of these were written in C and I add the C++ stuff and the OWL parts.

The program wmserial does not repaint the screen so I added that part from
Timothy S. Monk's book.

There is a problem with the character buffer used to repaint the screen
after a WM_PAINT msg. After the buffer is full and the screen has been
scrolled the buffer get corrupted and some garbage is written to the screen.

If anyone can fix the buffer I sure would like to know how to do it.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
