Kugel) Original-subject: Device Driver Development Guide on osu-cis updated Reposted-by: emv@msen.com (Edward Vielmetti, MSEN) On or about Tuesday (June 4), we updated the Device Driver Development guide on osu-cis from version 2.2 to version 2.6. Old version: -rw-rw-r-- 1 ftp 51525 Apr 6 23:50 att7300/documents/DDDguide.mm.Z The new version is around 52065 bytes long, and will be 128605 bytes long when uncompressed. For those with ftp access, osu-cis ftp address is "cheops.cis.ohio-state.edu". Full name of the file is /usr/spool/uucppublic/att7300/documents/DDDguide.mm.Z While many of the fixes from the previously available version are trivial to the casual reader, several fixes would be important to anybody actually using this guide to write a driver. And the output should look a LOT better on a standard 80-character printer with nroff. Highlights of these changes: o allows reasonable-looking tables to be printed with nroff within 80 columns o fixes several mis-reproduced type declarations in the subroutine summarys and explanations o reworded some paragraphs for clarity o fixes many small typos and format problems o changes *'s in code to math stars (should look the same with nroff and better with troff) Kris A.
