sharing utility<BR><BR></DIV></FONT></FONT>
<BLOCKQUOTE>I seem to remember comments on this SIG some time ago about a COM
port sharing utility, whereby a single COM port could be used by two (or more)
applications at the same time.<BR><BR>My desire here is to use a Garmin GPS
receiver to feed data to a DeLorme Street Atlas program and at the same time
feed the GPS data to a program that would keep the computer (a Dell Latitude
laptop) time correct. I have found an inexpensive program that will set the
computer's time using GPS data, but it does not share access to the COM port.
<BR><BR>As mentioned earlier, I think I saw references to such a sharing
program in this SIG some time ago. Does anyone remember that, or know of an
inexpensive (preferably free) program? I've found a couple of such programs on
the internet, but they are priced at $100 or more.<BR><BR>Thanks in advance
for any info. <BR><BR>73, Claude Head<BR>
