                      4: 
                      5: The COMM sample application is designed to demonstrate the
                      6: basics of using the Win32 communications API functions while
                      7: maintaining a common code base with Win16 code.

                     12: functions OpenFile, ReadFile, SetCommState, SetCommMask,
                     13: WaitCommEvent, WriteFile and CloseFile.
                     14: 
                     15: This sample creates a background thread to watch for COMM

                     19: 
                     20: Simple TTY character translation is performed and a screen
                     21: buffer is implemented for use as the I/O window.
                     22: 
                     23: Overlapped file I/O techniques are demonstrated.
                     24: 
                     25: How To Use:
                     26: 
                     27: The baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity, port, RTS/CTS
                     28: handshaking, DTR/DSR handshaking, and XON/XOFF handshaking
                     29: can be changed under the Settings menu item.
                     30:
