Serial ToolKit is a 4th Dimension plug-in which provides complete access to the serial port, a vast improvement over the native functionality available in 4D's programming language.

Serial ToolKit contains a dozen commands to completely manage local serial ports, including open connections, closing connections, port configuration, send and receiving data, and retrieving serial port parameter and configuration infomations.

Here are some key features of "Serial ToolKit":
get a list of available serial ports (including additional serial ports added by PCI or Nubus cards, USB adapters and PCMCIA cards);
open and configure a serial port (speed, parity, hand-shake, etc);
change the serial port buffer size;
send and receive information.

What's New:
Bug fix in STK_GetBuf in the MacOS version which was not returning a valid value (usually 0).
