   In 5 not BP7?  Eeek...wowsers...

   I believe it would be excruiatingly hard.  com routines are the
   one thing that is good for ASM still (graphics in some areas
   as being the second).  Now in something like Delphi you could
   probably rig something up in a weekend :)
   Course your limited to the Dos platform in v5.  The good old
   ASYNC libraries are some of the best for com stuff I'm sure they
   have full details.  The last one i used was ASYNC3 I think.  I'm
   sure a web search could locate stuff for it.
