=== Description ===

WSC4C is a serial communication component library that can
be used with most Windows C/C++ compilers (all versions of 
Microsoft including .NET), Borland, Watcom, LCC-WIN32, etc.) 
as well as Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) and Borland C++ 
Builder (BCB). WSC4C can be used in the development of Win32 
applications running under Win 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP and Win16 
applications running under Windows 3.1 (16-bit ONLY). The 
library does not depend on support libraries and makes calls 
to Windows API functions only. The same WSC32.DLL (or WSC16.DLL) 
can be called from any supported language such as C/C++, Delphi, 
Visual Basic, VB.Net, PowerBASIC (PB/CC, PB/DLL, PB/WIN), 
Visual FoxPro, Visual dBase, Xbase++, and COBOL as well as 
any VBA language such as EXCEL and ACCESS.

ASCII, XMODEM, & YMODEM protocols are also included as well 
as a good selection of C/C++ example programs.

MarshallSoft provides a separate product for WIN/CE for 
eVC (WSC4eVC) that can be downloaded from our web site at
