Sure! Maybe I have what I need right now (except for a ported version), but 
just don't know it. This book and examples by Mark Goodwin might be the 
perfect foundation that I am looking for. It points out the deficiencies of 
ROM-BOS calls with examples, then shows you how to create his interrupt driven 
"serial" toolkit step-by-step. He creates two compiled versions, one in C, and 
the other in C++. They both work great. His "serasm.asm" source deals with 
handling the ISR and the clock. Hopefully, this will shed some light on 
porting to DJGPP.  Naturally, I'm starting at point 'A' and working toward 
point 'Z'. My end goal is to learn how to use PCOM, DZCOM routines in my 
application. 

I will gladly share everything that is produced from this experience.

I'm trying to follow protocol for posting questions. I have seen the comment 
about reading and posting to the news group instead of mailing list. I will 
look for the HOW-TO on this. If someone can point me in the right direction 
that would be great!
