Quick C with RS232 and Direct Screen I/O

[Leon Geesey Jr]

This is posted for a friend of mine. He is currently trying to
convert a program that he has compiled in Quick BASIC To Quick C.
This program is used to collect data coming in on the RS232 from
a device conneted there. He was wondering how to set up the Port
and also do direct screen I/O. He say's that from what he can
determine, the buffer for the RS232 port in Quick C is only
set to 1 byte. And that Quick C is to slow for RS232 work. So he
thinks he might have to do this part in assembler or something.
I was just curious if this was so, or are we going about this
all wrong. Any code examples would be greatly appreciated. Also
Any assembler source that would facatilitate these for us.
