I am updating a utility to capture serial port data that was originally

inportb() etc are not C functions, they're DOS specific stuff. As such
they're offtopic here.
trying to re-work it as a Win32 app using Borland C++ 5.02, but am finding
that outportb() and inportb() are not available for a Win32 target.
Because they're DOS functions...
What is available to me for such simple serial port development in a C
application for Win32?
A windows programming group could probably tell you, eg in the
microsoft.win32 .programmer.... heirarchy.
Be prepared for it to be somewhat harder tho, as user-mode apps do not
have hardware access under windows.
