Subject: BETA: mwdd32 : 32 bits OS/2 device driver and IFS support V1.30
Organization: BIX Online Service

---------------------------------------------------------------------
MWDD32 VERSION 1.30 BETA
WHAT IS MWDD32 ?
-----------------
mwdd32 is a package that allows the implementation of 32 bits OS/2 device
drivers (BASEDEV and DEVICE) as well as 32 bits Installable File Systems
(IFS). It is composed of several parts :
- a base device driver (mwdd32.sys) that provides kernel services
(DevHelp) and utility functions callable from 32 bits ring 0 code.
- a static library (fsh32.lib) that provides thunks from 16 bits IFS entry
points to 32 bits, and 32 bits interfaces to FSHelper functions.
- a sample 32 bits BASEDEV base device driver skeleton, with sources.
- a sample 32 bits DEVICE device driver skeleton, with sources.
- a sample 32 bits IFS (Installable File System) driver skeleton, with
sources.
- a sample 32 bits OS/2 SES (Security Enabling Services) base device
driver skeleton, with sources.
MAIN NEW FEATURES SINCE PREVIOUS RELEASE :
------------------------------------------
- an OS/2 Security Enabling Services (SES) driver sample has been added.
- regular DEVICE device drivers (and not only BASEDEV) are now supported, and
a sample has been added.
REQUIREMENTS :
--------------
- OS/2 WARP with FixPack 17 is required. Bare OS/2 WARP should also work, but
I didn't test it yet.
- OS/2 WARP with FixPack 17 is required for the sample SES driver. (it will
not work with bare OS/2 WARP)
- IBM VisualAge C++ 3.0 with latest CSD, the IBM Devcon DDK V2, as well as IBM
ALP 4.0 are needed to write 32 bits drivers using this package.
- A file system supporting long file names (eg HPFS for instance) is required.
COPYRIGHT NOTICE :

WHERE TO FIND MWDD32 :
----------------------
ftp://ftp-os2.nmsu.edu/os2/dev32/32drv130.zip (or /incoming)
ftp://ftp.leo.org/os2/drivers/source/32drv130.zip (or /incoming/os2)
ftp://ftp-os2.cdrom.com/pub/os2/dev32/32drv130.zip (or /pub/os2/incoming)
DISCLAIMER :
------------
The fact that I work for IBM has nothing to do with this package : this is
spare time work. IT IS ***NOT*** OFFICIAL IBM SUPPORT FOR 32 BITS OS/2
PHYSICAL DEVICE DRIVERS OR IFS.
