BeOS

@@ -0,0 +1,47 @@
+BeOS serial support is in the early stages.  configure and the resulting 
+Makefile should work properly.  Initial readbyte/writebyte type support is 
+included.
+
+Test.java in contrib/ works on BeOS.
+
+rxtx.proj in contrib/ is included for people using the IDE that BeOS uses.
+
+
+Initially we tried to use the standard POSIX functions to get BeOS working.  It
+became obvious the BeOS kernel API (See Serial.h on BeOS) would have to be 
+used to get Events working.  With simple build and read/write functionality 
+we are releasing the work in case anyone wants to help contribute to the
+project.
+
+src/SerialImp.cpp is the BeOS support.
