Hello,

Is it possible to have 2 navigation programs running under Windows 98SE
at the same time, using NMEA on the same serial port (com1)

Thank You
Philippe

That's a good idea, there is a lot more ongoing development of software
and drivers and stuff in w2k than in 98se.

I did a search for a freeware virtual serial port program when this
thread started the other day and was surprised that I could not find one
for windows 98. There was quite a few for 2000 and XP and maybe even a
freeware or lower cost shareware one.

When you go to w2k (try a Workstation version, stay away from Server
editions) spend a little time getting everything in the Windows Classic
display mode, and turn off all the Display as a web page stuff. With
that and a few more tweaks, it will look almost exactly like Windows 98.

Another advantage of w2k is the ability to better control some of the
finer aspects of networking and the various services that were much more
obscure under 98se. As an example, for the most part, popup ads can be
controlled by turning off services that you probably don't want or need
anyway. And in w2k, the Administrative Tools allow you to look at and
control many aspects of your hardware and software.

Good luck with that!

Jack
