I would like to do a very simple interrupt routine that simply PostMessage()'s a message to the (one and only one) application that will be using the driver. I know that PostMessage() is ok, as described in the DLL chapter of the "Guide to Programming". What are things do I need to watch out for/be careful of? Is there a function in the SPI to install an interrupt handler? Thanks for any info. Mark Mark D. Grosen ARPA: grosen@amadeus.ucsb.edu Signal Processing Lab / Communications Research Lab ECE Dept.

Can the >DDK be purchased from dealers or only from Microsoft ? No, my copy of the Win 3.0 SDK does not include the DDK. The DDK is a separate product. The Win 3.0 SDK has an order form for the DDK in it. The order form says to send $500 + tax + shipping ($7.50/kit) with the order coupon to the following address: Microsoft DDK Kit Offer 21919 20th Avenue SE Box 3011 Bothell, WA 98041-3011 It also says that if you have any questions about the offer, to call the Microsoft Information Center at (800) 426-9400. For technical questions call the Microsoft Product Support Staff at (206) 454-2030. I don't know if you _have_ to have the coupon/order form to order the DDK. I also don't know if you can order it from software houses. I tried a couple (Elek-Tek and Programmer's Paradise) but no one knew anything about the DDK. >-- >John Radigan, Star Gate Technologies, Solon, Ohio (216) 349-1860 x666 >[...cwjcc!ncoast ...uunet!abvax ...ism780c ...sco ...mstar]!sgtech!jjr Tom Hjellming Analysts International Corporation (AiC) Schaumburg, IL

No, you don't need to have the coupon to order it. They're quite willing to take your credit card number right over the phone. .
