Description

PMC is a DOS-based program for building automation purpose developed by Neuberger Gebäudeautomation in Rothenburg/BY/Germany. If there are problems with serial connections under Windows - use DOSBOX and it rocks!

Status

Tested with DosBox 0.70 (under Windows 2000 / XP). The program runs and all functions work. If you have trouble with usb-serial-adapters, use adapters with Prolific chipset and latest drivers. This is, what the developer has used for his tests. Current should work too.
