' modCOMM - Written by: David M. Hitchner
'    * with very slight modification by H. Evensen
'
' This VB module is a collection of routines to perform serial port I/O without
' using the Microsoft Comm Control component.  This module uses the Windows API
' to perform the overlapped I/O operations necessary for serial communications.
'
' The routine can handle up to 4 serial ports which are identified with a
' Port ID.    ** Evensen modified to handle 6 serial ports.  Search for "HTE"
'              ** to find this.
'
' All routines (with the exception of CommRead and CommWrite) return an error
' code or 0 if no error occurs.  The routine CommGetError can be used to get
' the complete error message.
'
'       ** Evensen's modification:  inserting " " to function declarations
'       **  so that Hitchner's code works with 64-bit systems.  This "fix" may
'       **  introduce other errors yet to be determined.
