Geos won't link in Dos/Windows files. You may be able to port the
drivers and libraries over to Geos (assuming you have the source
code).
The best example of using the StreamC library on the OmniGo is
Appl\SDK_C\Serial2 sample application. You can also find some
information about idiosyncracies of the OmniGo serial port in the
OmniSDK FAQ (at www.geoworks.com/htmpages/devrel/download.html).
Hope that helps.

I am relatively new to the GEOS development environment and am still trying
to put all the aspects of the system into perspective. Basically I am
trying to develop an application so that the OmniGo can be used as a type of
Hand held console for comissioning some other products. At present I have
a .sys file and a .dll that are used with the host application on a PC. As
the Omnigo has some of the DOS components, is it possible to use any of the
existing drivers ( .sys, .dll) that are in place at present, or should I
forget about these all together and start from scratch with my own drivers.
The other question relates to the use of the serial port. I notice the
Omnigo platform file does not contain a reference to the stream library, so
I am a little lost as to how I access the serial port or the serial port
routines?
Any help would be appreciated. Than you.
