- Looking Glass Design, Inc. Announces Serial Port
- Communication Objects for NEXTSTEP
-
- VANCOUVER, BC - Looking Glass Design, Inc. (LGD) today
- announced the pre-release of the LGDCommunicationKit, a
- serial communications library for NEXTSTEP.
-
- LGDSerialPort is an appkit-independant object used to
- connect to serial devices, suitable for use in command-line
- executables and daemons. The class supports full uucp-style
- device locking, as well as a wide range of port
- configuration options.
-
- LGDAppSerialPort extends the functionality of the basic
- serial device for use in NEXTSTEP GUI applications. The
- kit includes a palette, allowing the programmer to specify
- target and action from within Interface Builder. The
- specified message will be sent whenever data becomes
- available at the device, allowing applications to deal with
- serial port input in an event-driven manner just as they do
- the keyboard and mouse input.
-
- "I believe that third-party objects should be as easy to
- use as objects developed at NeXT. By providing complete
- class and kit documentation in familiar styles, and by
- making palettes and example programs a standard feature
- of any kit released, Looking Glass Design demonstrates its
- commitment to seamless integration into the development
- environment." Scott Thomas, president.
-
- A pre-release of the LGDCommunicationKit is available
- for free via anonymous ftp from cs.orst.edu.
