PF> You can now download the DDK (device driver development kit) from an
 PF> IBM Website. 
 PF> Hidden within it is IPFC (which allows you to create your own *.INF
 PF> files),  and a MASM 5.1 compatible assembler called ALP. 
 PF> The level of device driver code is Warp 4.0.

 PC> Can IBM CSet++ v2.01 be used to create Device Drivers?


No; not *.SYS, *.ADD, *.DMD or *.IFS's.  If can be used for VDD's (virtual
device drivers for dos sessions),  display drivers, queue drivers, printer
drivers.

You need a 16bit compiler (like MSC 6 or Watcom 10.x) to build the others.

The compiler that comes with the DDK is a special (never released) 32bit
version of MSC 6 that does NOT produce 16bit code,  so can't be used for
device drivers.
