What it does, briefly:
	COMADDR can reset the COM port I/O address list (those "3F8" 
and "2E8" things you set jumpers for on adapter cards) stored in 
your computer's memory to either the defaults or whatever you 
like. That way, the digital address the software sees for the COM 
port actually agrees with the jumper setting, overriding whatever 
garbage your BIOS loaded in during start-up.  This is especially 
useful for crowded machines, or ones using extended adapters like 
the Mouse Systems Serial Card, or the Quickpath Portfolio I/O 
card, which allow you to set different addresses to resolve 
various I/O and interrupt (IRQ) conflicts.  It is compatible with 
both DOS and Windows applications, and will help solve a lot of 
confusing adapter/printer/conflict problems.  Unfortunately, you 
still need to set the jumpers or DIP switches; but this will give 
you more flexibility.
