Description

            After upgrading to Scilab v5.3.0-BETA4, which actually is the first
5+ version that did not immediately crash on my system, I somehow
missed the possibility of accessing the serial ports...

Non of the v4 serial-tools seemed to work, so I quickly built
my own library.

Right now (10/2010) tests were only done with:

 - Windows XP Pro and Home (SP3, 32Bit)
 - Scilab 5.3.0-BETA4

Obviously, Scilab 5.3 does not Support Windows-2000 any more.
A test installation only brought up the message:
"Scilab requires at least NT5.1".


If you need serial ports in Scilab 5+, give it a try.
If it doesn't work:

- Drop me a note and I'll see what I can do.
- Source code is included. Use it ;-)

I've gotten this working for an application that was originally written for Scilab 4.1.2
and 
ported to Scilab 5.x.  I was stuck for the serial port interface and contemplating trying
to 
write my own when this appeared.

As noted below, it isn't perfect yet, but it sure beats what I had before, which was 
nothing!

Thanks

Mark

I've tried it on Win XP, 32bit and it works fine for everything I've tried.
Win 7 64bit, Scilab 5.3.0 beta 5 64bit does not work (DLL refuses to load)
Win 7 64bit, Scilab 5.3.0 beta 5 32bit does not work (DLL refuses to load)
Win 7 32bit, Scilab 5.3.0 beta 5 32bit successfully loads DLL and seems to be working but 
some of the results I got were funny (might be the application mis-behaving but it was a 
borrowed machine and I had to give it back before I got to the bottom of it).

It seems from some of my reading that DLLs have to be compiled specially to work with 64
bit 
OS, but I haven't gotten any further.

Hi,

Please notice that it is not possible to load a 32 bits DLL in a 64 bits program
