COMM-DRV++
COMM-DRV++ is simply the easiest communication C++ class library to use. It insulates the details of serial communication under Windows from the software engineer / programmer.
COMM-DRV++ allows you to accomplish your serial communication task literally in minutes after installation. We have encapsulated general communication functions into easy to understand methods that are applicable to real world applications.
In developing COMM-DRV++, WCSC tabulated a list of the most frequently asked technical questions on serial communications, and tailored its methods to encapsulate these.
The following example is a complete working Windows application that calls another computer and transfers a file to it. Could it be any simpler?
| #include
"CCdrvPPPort.h" main() { CCdrvPPPort Port; if (!Port.OpenPort(1)) if (!ModemDial("2815551212") if (!Port.SendFileZmodem(FileXferDialogFlagOn ,"Myfile.txt") cout << "File transferred successfully"; Port.ClosePort(); } |
COMM-DRV++ though easy to use is quite powerful. It contains a large number of methods/functions. Though most methods/functions will rarely be used, they are developed for the few times they may be needed. <Click here> to see what our satisfied users think of our products.
Major Features:
 |
COMM-DRV++ is compatible with Windows XP, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows 98, and Windows 95. |
|
COMM-DRV++ supports the Microsoft Visual C++ and Borland C++ compilers. |

COMM-DRV++ supports all serial ports that have a Windows driver. These include all intelligent and non-intelligent multiport cards, USB serial port hubs and modems, PCMCIA serial ports, or any permutation thereof (e.g., Digi International, Advantech, Connect Tech, Lava, etc.). |
|
COMM-DRV++ supports the Zmodem (w/Crash recovery), Xmodem (CRC & Checksum), and Ymodem (Batch, 1K, G). |
|
COMM-DRV++ supports communications on any number of serial ports concurrently. |
|
COMM-DRV++ supports hardware handshaking (RTS/CTS, DTR/DSR), and software handshalking |
|
COMM-DRV++ supports adjustable communication buffers of any size. |
|
COMM-DRV++ supports multiple string/token searches of any size. |
|
COMM-DRV++ supports all Hayes compatible modems. |
|
COMM-DRV++ has manual completely online and easily accessable. (Hardcopy available as well). |
