If the file handle to the port is * needed (to pass to a child process), use the ComGetFH() function. * * If RxBufSize and/or TxBufSize are/is zero, a default size is used. * When using COM0x.SYS, the default buffer size is the same as the buffer size used by COM0x.SYS. For Tx, this is the optimum size to keep COM0x.SYS busy. A buffer larger than this will not gain any extra performance. Therefore, the common urge to make the transmit buffer large will not have the desired effect. If there was some way to make the REAL transmit buffer (the one in COM0x.SYS) larger, performance gains WOULD be seen, but there is no way to do this unless you have the source code for COM0x.SYS. If you DO have the source (in the DDK), and you increase the buffer sizes, use 0 for the XxBufSize and ComOpen will use your larger buffers (ComOpen/Register uses the standard IOCTL call to query the buffer sizes). RxBufSize, on the otherhand, does not affect performance of any functions in the Com() module. To avoid overflows however, you should set this to at least the size of the COM0x.SYS Rx buffer, or use 0 so the default size if selected. When the Rx buffer gets full, the speaker will sound (DosBeep(200, 10)). There are two solutions to this problem: Make the Rx buffer larger (preferred), or raise the priority of the thread calling ComRead()/ComGetc(). All threads created by comm.dll run at the default priority. Since com0?.sys is interrupt driven, Reading/Writing to it at a high priorty does not improve anything. If the Rx thread is starved for such a long time that com0?.sys buffer gets full, it means some other process on your computer is badly behaved (IT is problably running at Time Critical class when it shouldn't be). There are four ways to solve this (in order of preference): 1) Insert DosSleep(1L) in the polling loops that are guilty (this assumes you have source code), and/or have it run at NORMAL priority class. 2) decrease MAXWAIT in config.sys. 3) Prior to calling ComOpen/ComHRegister, raise the priorty of the current thread (or of the whole process). The Rx/Tx threads will inherhit this priority. 4) set PRIORITY=ABSOLUTE in config.sys. FYI: OS/2 1.2 uses a default size of 1024 bytes for Rx, and 128 bytes for Tx. * * */ USHORT COMMAPI ComOpen (PSZ _Seg16 PortName, LPHCOMM pHcomm, /* pointer to var for Comm handle */ USHORT RxBufSize, /* desired size of Receive queue*/ USHORT TxBufSize); /* desired size of Transmit queue */ /* * ComHRegister(): Register a comm handle opened by another process. * * This function (or ComOpen()) must be called before any * other Com() function. */ USHORT COMMAPI LOADDS ComHRegister (HCFILE hf, LPHCOMM * pHcomm, /* pointer to var for Comm handle */ USHORT RxBufSize, /* desired size of receive queue*/ USHORT TxBufSize); /* desired size of xmit queue */ /* ComClose(): Close and/or DeRegister comm handle. * * This function will not DosClose() the handle if the handle was not * opened by this process with ComOpen() (ie: If ComHRegister() was used, * ComClose() will not DosClose() the handle.
