Re: [Dev-C++] WRITING TO SERIAL PORT

[Daniel G. <sp...@ho...>]

I'm not entirely sure of the syntax but...

In DOS (command prompt) you can do
nmake DebugBuild > LPT1

to send output of the DebugBuild "build" to the printer attached to LPT1. 
I'm not sure about how you could tie this in with your project though...
