[Gambas-user] using events of serial ports for reading how_?

[PICCORO McKAY Lenz]

Tony all the information was given:

1 it's a fiscal printer, there's no sense in give you that are a epson dot
matrix due you need the kit's in place to test

2 i tested and make many mothns ago a POS systems so test with command line
the kit was done! please!

3) of course commands are ver very correct! i receive data but not as
planned by the event as T Lee said!

about the odbc, i provide the odbc driver info, TDS do you noted and read
the issues?
and connection string info, i not the only that suffers the odbc problem,
the world are not the "little hole of mysql" right!

please seems are you the guy that are "srcreaming garbage"
