I don't know what books he has but I had a reply from the author of a
book called "Serial Communications for
Visual Basic Programmers" by
Richard Grier - (apologies to Richard for any slight title mistake).
Richard does post to this group often, so get his website address and
order it.
The only useful book I found in what was meant to be Europes largest
bookstore was a pocket book by Mike Tooley, Published by Newnes entitled
"Data Communications". Amongst the pages is the format for X-Modem and
X-Modem CRC which, with a bit of programming works through the MSComm
control and works well.
All other books in this ilk seem to be about wave propogation and
quantum mechanics or similar and no programming.
