A manufacturer of infusion pumps asked ProtoLink to
modify an existing application used to transfer configuration
information and data logs between their pumps and Windows PCs. The
application, which was originally written for Windows 95, did not operate
correctly on Windows NT. ProtoLink personnel analyzed the code and made
the modifications necessary to allow the application to successfully run on
the NT platform. The required changes included modifying code that was
attempting to access the PC hardware directly and restructuring code that was
causing deadlocks between multiple threads.
