I WANT TO DO RS232 FROM MY COMPUTER TO A PIC16C65 OR 74.  LOOKING AT THE
MICROCHIP 94/95 CONTROL BOOK SECTION AN547 I WAS CONFUSED.  I WANT TO BE
ABLE TO SEND/RECIEVE DATA AT MY COMPUTER.  I WAS PLANNING ON DOING
ASYNCHRONOUS & USING A PARITY BIT.  I WANT TO USE THE MAX-232 CHIP WHICH
APPEARS TO ONLY HAVE TX & RX.  SEEING THIS I ASSUME THAT I MUST USE THE
SOFTWARE TX & RX POLLING EXAMPLES SHOWN IN THE BOOK.  IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE DATA IS GETTING RECIEVED AND TRANSMITTED CORRECTLY I ASSUME THAT I
MUST DEVELOP SOME SORT OF HANDSHAKING LOGIC BETWEEN THE TWO.  IF SOMEONE
COULD CONFIRM MY ASSUMPTIONS PLEASE DO SO.  I WAS THINKING ABOUT DOING CTS
& RTS HANDSHAKING BUT WAS THINKING THIS WOULD MAKE MY LIFE MORE DIFFICULT.
 NOTE THAT SPEED IS NOT AN ISSUE.  PLEASE COMMENT THANK YOU.
