* wfmto601.c
*
* This module contains the processing functions required for a DOS or
* Windows based PC to communicate effectively with the WFM601x family of
* instruments. This code provides an example of the message buffering
* required due to the lack of a hardware UART.
*
*
* This module uses a DOS communications code library included as a part
* of the book "C Asynch Manager" copyright 1991 Blaise Computing Inc,
* 819 Bancroft Way, Berkeley, CA 94701.
The library is freely
* redistributable as part of the product when you purchase the book.
* Aside from purchasing its products, Tektronix has no business
* relationship with Blaise, and under no circumstances warrants this
* software for use to any particular purpose. Use this code at your own risk.
