I have heard reference to something Microsoft call DDK. I know SDK is the Software Development Kit for Windows, but I don't know what DDK is or what it is to be used for. I will be doing development of networking applications to run under Windows. Followup-To is set to comp.os.msdos.programmer, or you may email to me at the address phil-howard@uiuc.edu. Thanks. -- /***************************************************************************\ / Phil Howard -- KA9WGN -- phil@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu | Guns don't aim guns at \ \ Lietuva laisva -- Brivu Latviju -- Eesti vabaks | people; CRIMINALS do!! / \***************************************************************************/

DDK is the Device Driver Development Toolkit. I know, it doesn't have
all the right letters, but that's what you use it for. I don't own it
but I understand it make the SDK look like GWBasic in clarity. You
need it to develope all those SVGA drivers that people keep asking for
in comp.windows.ms for the froboz SVGA 1248x348 456 color mode.

DDK = Device Driver Kit. Sorta like an SDK for super-tekkies who want to write closer to the bare metal than Windows permits for normal apps. Actually, it's most useful for someone who wants to support a nonstandard peripheral, or needs special support features. Sample code in the kit includes somewhat outdated versions of the standard mode comm and HPPCL drivers. Only place I've seen it for sale other than directly from uSoft is in The Programmer's Shop mail-order catalog, at $350. Joe

DDK stand for device driver kit. It is use by OEM to make device driver for their graphic board/printer/plotter... so that their customer can use it. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Daniel Anderson Matrox Electronic systems, Graphic Software | +-----------------------------------------+----------------------------------+ | internet: danderso@magrethea.matrox.com | "I don't NEED to compromise my |
