  For the past several months, I've been attempting to 
specify and implement a standard for a freeware Serial Port 
Interface for the Java development language, and I'm 
pleased to announce that work on development for the 
initial target platform, OS/2, is progressing quite 
rapidly!

  A preliminary beta of the API has been posted to my 
webpage at http://yaztromo.idirect.com/java-serial.html, 
with work on the native code portion of the project for 
OS/2 to be completed by the end of the month.  If any OS/2 
users out there with experience in Java and serial port 
programming are interested, I'd appreciate it if you could 
look over my design, and let me know what you like and 
dislike about it.

  I'm also interested in anybody who might be interested in 
helping this freeware project along by writing native code 
handlers for other operating systems.

  If you are interested in helping with this freeware 
project, please visit the project homepage at 
http://yaztromo.idirect.com/java-serial.html, E-Mail myself 
at yaztromo@idirect.com, or subscribe to the project E-Mail 
list by sending a message to j-serial@yaztromo.idirect.com 
with the word "subscribe" as the subject.

  Thanks in advance for your interest in this project!  
Your help could make a variety of cross-platform device 
communications a reality!

Brad Barclay,
Project Administrator.
