Windows 95 vs. Windows NT Serial Code


Hello;

I have some serial I/O code that works fine on Windows 95.  It is uploading
a program to a HandHeld Products barcode scanner and unfortunately it will
not work on Windows NT.  I was successful in getting it to work with Beta
20.1 and Beta 19.  I am using the cygwin=tty and cygwin32=tty environment
variables.  The program sits in a loop at the beginning waiting for the
barcode Wand user to press the download key which sends an EX character to
the PC.  On Windows 95 it works everytime.  My sincere thanks to anyone who
can help me with this.  Here is the code;
