DESCRIPTION

   A library that will do all the "dirty" work when handling serial devices
   and compatible devices (such as duart.device etc.)

   It provides functions which makes it very easy to use modem/nullmodem
   connections with programs and/or games.

   - resource tracking (*!* from v2.1 *!*)
   - fast handling (written in assembler).
   - painless to use, straight forward (few arguments to the functions)
   - string/binary support
   - possibility for advanced handling (eg. with Wait())
   - doesn't loose any chars when sending/receiving
   - fully re-entrant (more connections open at the same time)
   - comes with defaul setting 8bit/1stopbit/19k2/RTS/CTS/7WIRE
   - easy to change default parameters
   - can be used from any language that support libraries.
   - does all error checking for you

   Archive includes developer information and a demo terminal program that
   uses the dignet.library.

   Archive also includes debug tools for resource tracking to free device
   and memory that are used by dead programs.
