I'm doing cross-platform development of a product that accesses custom hardware connected to the USB port, which acts like a serial device. On Windows I can send and receive data to the COM port associated with the device. For testing, I downloaded the open source com0com project, which creates a pair of virtual serial ports which are connected to each other; the output for one is the input for the other. This allows me to test my software against a "virtual device" program I have written. In this sense, I guess it would create a pair of psuedo-ttys that are connected to each other in the background. I read through the archives of this list and found a similar question a while back, but the question wasn't phrased clearly and it isn't the same question as I am posing above, so that's why I'm writing now. If an existing solution doesn't exist, I suppose I could write my own. Any thoughts on the complexity of such a task? -- Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use regular expressions." Now they have two problems. --Jamie Zawinski, in comp.lang.emacs This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
