[Dev-C++] WRITING TO SERIAL PORT

[Dondolo M. <MDo...@OL...>]

Hi all,
 
I have been playing around with streams and need the following help. 
I am able to print my files to our network printer and also write them to
specific network drives. 
How do I write a device in one of my ports...eg, serial port
consider this code as an example.
 
 
 
ofstream create(" \\omcwca054\\HPLJ5000 <file://\\omcwca054\\HPLJ5000> ")
cout<<"The following will be printed to on lazer jet printer";
create<<" Mpho Dondolo\n"
         <<" 45 Durban Ridge\n"
        <<"Tyger Valley\n";
create.close();
 
I want to write to my matrix display board that is connected to my serial
port.
 
NB!!!! Please do not flip if have not supplied sufficient info. ( last i did
that, some guy almost had a heart attack) I am still new at this game
