Java Communication example

If you rebuild the native DLL, and you want to rebuild SimpleSerialEXE.exe
you must rebuild SimpleSerial.lib.  The .lib file MSVC++ produces is in COFF 
format, which isn't understood by the Java compiler.

1.  Delete SimpleSerial.lib.

2.  Run implib.exe on SimpleSerial.dll.  This program creates SimpleSerial.lib 
file based on the .dll

3.  Run the created SimpleSerial.lib through Coff2omf.exe to convert it from COFF to OMF
format.  NOTE:  If you try and do this with the lib file created by the MS compiler, it
will fail.

4.  Copy the .lib file to the SimpleSerial directory
