Re: What is the path returned by the CurDir function

ChDir(ExePath())
after this CurDir() points to the exe path also.

@dodicat In case I'm not at home can you send me via private message a tracking number so I can delegate the package to a packstation or a neighbor ?

Happy B'day :-)

Re: Fast copy of all the bytes in a ubyte ptr to a string ??

If you talk about the event driven RS232 class again: under Windows the serial COM ports works only in binary mode ! sub ReceiveCB(byval pBuffer as ubyte ptr, byval size as integer) print "device receive event" print "rx: "; for i as integer=0 to size-1 print chr(pBuffer[i]); nex...

@dodicat looks like you forgot the spring suspension simulation because the old computer stuff is quite fragile (ha ha ha)

Re: Tip: Event driven RS232 class (windows)

How would I add handling an event of RI (Ring Indication) changing state ??? The RS232 class is primary the data layer, receive and transmit data over the serial cables (TX/RX). The Ring idicator is a part of the MODEM control layer and not a part of this event driven RS232 class SORRY :-( BUT :-) ...

Did you mean Märklin mfx? To do with model railways? Yes of course I meant MFX (fmx was a typo) No charge, a birthday present perhaps! Really "BBC basic acorn, and an old commodore" I would love it. It was my 60th birthday and I am retiring early so finally have time for things like this....

[offtopic] Emoji's in Monospace font ?

If I open *.bas or *.bi files with geany (no bom header) the default font is a mono space font.

Re: Any way to monitor RS232 control lines ??

You open two serial ports one for receive and the other for transmit all the signals you got before!
Where is the problem ?

May be you can use some code parts from my event driven RS232 windows class.
