- /*
- * ReadComm
- * This program demonstrates the use of the function ReadComm.
- * It attempts to read a specified number of characters from the
- * communication device that has already been opened and copy the
- * characters into a buffer. Before attempting to do any read, the
- * communication device must have its device control block set up
- * properly to a correct configuration.
- *
- * This program will only run properly if there is a dumb terminal connected
- * to COM1: port.
