Tony,

I'm not sure of your budget for your project, if any. However I'd like
to recommend my favorite async library - Async Professional from Turbo
Power Software. I'll qualify this recommendation in that I've only used
the Pascal version of their products, which I have found to be
excellent. The packages sell for under $200. I'm more familiar with the
DOS library. What I liked about it was the first time I used it, it only
took about five minutes for me to learn to use their routines enough
that I could finish the program I was working on.

Their web address is:
