I wrote a C++ class to control RS-232 under Win32 (windows 95,98,NT,XP ..). 
You could rip out the guts and have pure C and get it to work fine.  Check
out:

Find or scroll down to the "Serial Port PIC Boot Programmer" project and get
the file common.zip  I have code for windows and HP-UX (HP unix) in there. 
You basically, do an open with the COM port of your choice then do reads or
writes then close the port when you are done.

The source for the project uses this code.

Good luck.
