!PC Device Driver Kit Readme. 16-Oct-1998
-----------------------------------------

This contains most of what you will need for writing add-on device modules
for !PC. The contents of this kit are as follows:

Docs.DDK/txt
Docs.DDK/wri

 This is the main readable DDK documentation, in plain text and Windows
 Write format, respectively. Note that DDK.txt is now more up-to-date.

Code.SYS.h.FEState
Code.SYS.h.HrdState
Code.SYS.h.StdTypes
Code.SYS.h.Sys
Code.SYS.h.Version

 These are extracts from the main !PC code, giving details of fundamental
 types and structures.

Code.PCDevHelp

 This is the PCDevHelp module, which provides utility routines for writers
 of device modules. It is documented in DDK/txt.


Code.MakeFile
Code.mcm
Code.Module.C.PCDevHelp
Code.Module.h.PCDevHelp
Code.Module.mh.PCDVH_MH

 This is the source to the PCDevHelp module, which provides some insight
 into how the main !PC structures are manipulated.

Some of this info is a bit out-of-date. The docs have not been updated since
v2.23. What is here is all still correct, but some of the newer facilities
(e.g Direct video frame buffer for VESA/DirectX) are simply not mentionned.

Please contact wookey@aleph1.co.uk if there are any glaring bodges.
