Hi,
  This is Sudarshan. I am trying to work with serial ports on Windows using
only C library API's like open, read etc.But I am unable to find a way to
set the serial communication attributes, espeically OVERLAPPED or
NON_OVERLAPPED IO with "open".  Ofcourse Windows provides the
API-"CreateFile", which will do the job, but I don't want to use it.
Essentially I need to use as less of Windows functions for serial
communications.
	I came across Cygwin, and am curious how Cygwin does it on Windows?
Would be glad to get some answers...Thanks in advance
