I just bought HiSoft BASIC based on glowing reviews in the mags. I need to port a program from MSDOS which uses the serial port for communications. Well guess what? HiSoft BASIC DOES NOT SUPPORT SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS VIA THE SER: OR COM1: DEVICES! I called MichTron and they said they were working on a fix but had no idea when (or if) it would be available. So be warned that no serial communications will be possible. If anyone has solved this problem or found a work-around PLEASE send me EMAIL!!!! Thanks, Jim

Jim, What a bummer. Looks like you need to use AmigaBasic while they fix the problem, unless GFA Basic supports the serial port. —Mike
