Directory overview:

FLEXCOP
  Debug       The DEBUG version of the driver.
  DELPHI      Delphi 5 sample application and driver interfacing.
  Release     The RELEASE version of the driver.

  The FLEXCOP directory itself contains the driver source code itself.


Windows 2000 Device Driver Development Kit ('old')
==================================================
The driver source code can be build using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.
Note: for the driver to compile you need to have a WDM DDK installed!
It is based upon the 'Programming the Windows Driver Model' book by
Walter Oney (which also includes a templeta for building drivers
using Visual C++).
The driver was build using the *standard* version, which generates
2 warnings:
  "Command line warning D4002 : ignoring unknown option '/Os'"

According to Microsoft you can not use the standard edition to create
a driver....
Also according to Microsoft WDM drivers for different systems (98/ME/2000)
are *not* binary compatible (only source code compatible). This would
mean that you have to build a driver for each of those different systems
using the correct DDK for that system.

Having said that. I have not encountered any problems (yet) using the
*standard* edition of Visual C++. I used the Windows 2000 DDK to build
the driver and have installed the driver on a Windows ME system.


Steps for installation of development programs
Note: Relates to rather old MSDN package


1. Install MS Visual Studio c++ 6.0
   Use a directory name WITHOUT spaces!

2. Install the latest service pack (SP3)
   MSDN Development platform English Disc 8

3. Run Visual Studio at least 1 time

4. Install platform SDK
   MSDN Development Platform English Disc 3

5. Install W2000 DDK
   MSDN Development Platform English Disc 14

6. You might have to manuall add the DDKPATH environment variable:
   SET DDKPATH=.....


When compiling you will get two warnings (which you can ignore):
"Command line warning D4002: ignoring unknown option '/Os'"

Also you will get a warning about a missing SIWPATH (which is for
a Soft-Ice/W debugger).



Windows Server 2003 Driver Development Kit
==========================================
The code can also be build with the Windows Server 2003 Driver Development Kit.
This kit also contains the compiler to build the driver. This kit can be requested
on CDROM from Microsoft. At the moment this kit is free of charge (you only pay
some transport/handling fees).

For compilation you do the following:
. Start up the required build environment (use 'free' for driver without debug
  code).
. Execute 'build -cZ'
