    Mscomm

    Hi:
    I'm trying to convert an old Probasic program of mine to VB.
    The program reads the serial port (com1) which is attached
    to a printer line coming from the main frame computer and stores the text data in files.
    I have tried to adapt VBTerm to this purpose but the resulting output is not quite right. The port settings are com1, 9600,8,n,1.
    The output I'm getting has about 60% correct text but is the other 40% is characters such as superscripts, accent marks, carets, etc.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
