title: How to develope a Virtual com port c++
body: <p>I have been told to develop a virtual com port so an app the company has can read off com "comCompanyNameV1".. I tried to pick apart com0com, but it seem so incomplete I'm finding I have to kludge around large parts of it and I have yet to get anything to come close to compiling. Mostly because the tools that are outlined to use to build aren't available anymore.  </p>
  
  <p>Can anyone point me in a direction to allow me to create a virtual com port that?  I really don't want to have to spend a month trying to figure out how to do it from scratch. </p>
  
  <p>Oh.. if some knows how to get it done in languages other than c++ I'm good with that too. </p>

  <p>I forgot to mention.  The actual hardware might be attached to com1 but I still have to have the app read on the custom named com.  It's a third party app and we've got no idea why they picked a strange named com, but they did. </p>
