Hi guys
I'm working on a little c program to receive and save strings from the
serial-port into a local file on a Windows XP/2003 Server machine.
The program is working very well on a linux machine but if I try to run it
under windows I just get stupid characters like:
0x11 ◄
0x6 ♠
0x7
0x1f ▼
0x7f ⌂
what I really wanted to get is this:
0x2 ☻
0x4a J
0x55 U
0x53 S
0x54 T
0x49 I
0x4e N
0x20
0x54 T
0x49 I
0x4d M
0x42 B
0x45 E
0x52 R
0x4c L
0x41 A
0x4b K
0x45 E
0x20
0x2f /
0x20
0x52 R
0x6f o
0x63 c
0x6b k
0x20
0x79 y
0x6f o
0x75 u
0x72 r
0x20
0x62 b
0x6f o
0x64 d
0x79 y
0x3 ♥
but I only get the right chars when I open a windows Hyperterminal and close
it before I start my program.
After a week of searching around the internet you are my last hope.
the rs232.c file Is my program-code:
and cygcheck.out is the output of "cygcheck -s -v -r"
thank you for help
moe
