		README for SerialLine class source directory
		-------------------------------------------

THis README describes the files which can be found in the SerialLine
class source directory.

The SerialLine class is a generic end-user OIC class for handling serial
lines (on OS9). Each serial line is treated as an object with its own 
attributes e.g. file descriptor, baud rate, parity , ... 
The class implements commands for reading and writing ascii messages or 
raw data to the object. 

For more information on this class refer to the users's guide (DSUG/123)
and the specifications document (DSN/98).


The following files can be found in the directory :

	Makefile - GNU Makefile for making SerialLine class for OS9
	           (targets are all, install, clean, clobber, lock, ci)
	SerialLine.c - source code implementing the OIC	class
	startup.c - source code for implementing a startup which
	            creates and exports only SerialLine objects
	SerialLine_menu - ascii based menu to test all commands
