SPORT routines don't work

The SPORT_CONNECT changes the properties of COM1 to 1200BD and when displaying to a VT420 requires 7-bit, 2 stop bits from what ever is set in the SYSTEM tool.
SPORT_SET_STATE does not work, but returns an error code of 6.
We do not understand why plain vanilla FORTRAN OPEN and WRITE statements can't be used.

Our SPORT expert doesn't read this - send mail to vf-support@compaq.com if you need assistance.

"Plain vanilla FORTRAN OPEN and WRITE statements" impose a record structure and other requirements which a COM port doesn't satisfy.
