I think this thread is straying rather far off topic. Don's program is
written using Visual Basic. Therefore he probably uses the MSCOMM control to
access the serial port. Whether or not he could have used another method if
he had written it in another language is irrelevant, because he didn't. Most
of us amateurs writing free software for other hams are not professionals
and do what we can with the skills and tools that we have.

Incidentally, using the API it is certainly possible to write serial port
access code that works with a real serial port and not with a USB adapter.
So using a third party library that has been well and truly tried and tested
is probably a wise decision.
