The program do not crash, but it does not write or read from the serial port.
It presents an error message and continues but does not work. The program was 
compiled with Borland C builder (do not know the version).  I have the sorce 
code but not the compiler. It was created by a friend many years ago to help 
me test a electronic board.
I tried to use hyperterminal to test the serial port access, but I could not 
setup it properly or it does not work under wine.
I also tried to install an old terminal program called PROCOMM but the SETUP 
program complains that  a SHELL.DLL was not found and aborts.
I am triyng to find a simple terminal that uses a serial port to test it.
