For $ 30, the vendor will send you a draft version of their documentation intended for the next version. They have been suitably chastised in this newsgroup about failing to include hardcopy documentation with V7.0 but apparently there was a time-to-market issue. That is above and beyond any ambiguity regarding what name they should put on the documentation since between V7.0 and the future V7.1 they have changed their name from Thomson Software to Aonix. > I want to call win32 api to read data from > rs-232. do I need a vxd or i can just call > the api? Every ObjectAda for Windows package from the Personal Edition on up includes Win32 bindings, so you can call the Win32 API from the compiler. > i'm using win95. I don't know whether the ability to call the Win32 API is sufficient to access an RS-232 port or whether a VXD must be interposed, but if there is a problem in that area it would seem to be the fault of Microsoft rather than Aonix. With luck, even as I prattle on, a more helpful answer is being composed by someone who actually understands all the workings of Windows 95. Larry Kilgallen
