i only know VC++, i think version 6.0, cause that's what i use at school, and what i have at home.

Good. VC++ 6 is probably the best compiler out there. Personally, I use professional edition (gotta love academic licensing), but the commands I gave in the white paper should work for all versions.

somewhat. Basically, while the ReadFile function is being called, you can't do anything. If the serial cable becomes disconnected, the ReadFile function will never return, so you won't be able to do anything. Under normal operation, it will return immediately after reading the 26 bytes, so you can just put the processing code right there.

OK, I guess. just make sure you restart the laptop periodically so you don't end up with a wonderful BSOD.
As for the OI/RC emulator, that was me talking about doing it and yes, I am currently working on it. I'm about halfway through the PBASIC interpreter, and the rest of it is just trivial UI stuff. I've been sidetracked by my
automatic program generator though.
