serial communication in C

[devh]

In Turbo C , I am using bios.h to send and receive data on serial Port. I am using bios(2, 0, COM1) to receive data.... and
bios(1, in, COM1) to send data..where (let int in=65
I am receiveing data from Port but unable to send... I copied code from http://electrosofts.com/serial/

**********************************************************

#include <bios.h>
#include <conio.h>
#define COM1 0
#define DATA_READY 0x100
#define SETTINGS ( 0xE0 | 0x10 | 0x00 | 0x03) 

// 0xE0 = 9600, 0x10 = Even Parity, 0x00 = (stop bit =1), 0x03 = 8 bit

int main(void)
{
int in, out, status;
bioscom(0, SETTINGS, COM1); /*initialize the port*/
cprintf("Data sent to you: ");
while (1)
{
status = bioscom(3, 0, COM1); /*wait until get a data*/
if (status & DATA_READY)
if ((out = bioscom(2, 0, COM1) & 0x7F) != 0) /*input a data*/
putch(out);
if (kbhit())
{
if ((in = getch()) == 27) /* ASCII of Esc*/
break;
bioscom(1, in, COM1); /*output a data*/
}
}
return 0;
}

Help you do what exactly? I didn't see a question in your post.

My guess is the host OS isn't DOS at all, but probably something like XP.

The answer is to get one of the many free compilers which are actually compatible with your host OS.
