PC to FPGA Data transfer

Hi,

I have written some code to send 48 binary data bits to a FPGA. This data then must be encoded using AMI line encoding but im having trouble running the C++ program. Its a win32 console application. It has been written using microsoft visual studio pro 2005. Please take a look at my code and and suggestions would be greatly appreciated since im new to C++ programming.



#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

#include "Serial.h"

int main( void )
{
char word[48];
longint bin;

bin = strtol(word, NULL,2);

Serial myport;
cout( "Beginning serial communications with FPGA.\n\n" );

scanf(%s);

cout( "Begining data Exchange.\n" );
myport.ExchangeData( bin );


cout( "Beginning Write.\n" );
myport.WriteData( bin );


cout( "\nPress return to Finish...\n" );

return 0;
}
