COM Port/Serial Port

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knows of any basic language (but not VB) that can send data to the com port. I have a basic project I want to get done, where I just need 6 switches to turn on and off.

As far as i can see blitz doesn't have it unless i missed a dll or something? I have looked at ibasic and purebasic, but both seem to not have it. I know qbasic supports it, as i have been prototyping with it. But I would liks something more windowsy with built in commands for image processing.

Anyway, thanks for any info in advance.

..take a look at Powerbasic...thats really fast programming language and there is support for COM ports, instead USB, parallel etc..there is also DLL's for Blitz3D for serial communication..I dont know about link but if you want it, email me and I'll send it to you..

thanks alien, i would like to take a look at that. chipmandoo@...

I have had a look at powerbasic, i might give it a wirl.

I aslo found this, which has com port programming http://www.libertybasic.com/ and is pretty cheap.

Not sure how useful but there are a couple of entries in the code archives:

and here

ok, I send files to you Boomboom...
