This appendix lists and briefly describes some of the tools provided with the Microsoft Windows Device Driver Kit (DDK). These tools are necessary to prepare and build the sample device drivers and virtual devices.
| ADDHDR.EXE |
Special Add Header utility for 386 virtual devices. This file modifies the headers of virtual devices. It takes only one parameter, the name of the virtual device file, and should be run as a standard part of every build procedure. |
| CVTHPPFM.EXE |
Tool for converting from 3.1 PFM format to 3.0 PFM format. |
| IMPLIB.EXE |
Tool for creating import libraries. For those developers who are still using the Microsoft C Compiler version 5.1, you should install the IMPLIB program provided with the compiler. But, because IMPLIB is not installed automatically, you need to do this manually. |
| LINK386.EXE |
Link386 for 386 virtual devices. A version of the Microsoft Segmented-Executable Linker that builds virtual devices. This version has been modified to understand 32-bit offsets. |
| LINK4.EXE |
A special version of the C Linker that creates font-resource files. The DDK includes this program to support the creation of font resources only. For other executable files, we recommend you use the linker provided with your compiler or assembler, or LINK386.EXE. |
| MAPSYM32.EXE |
Special MAPSYM for 386 virtual devices. A 32-bit version of the standard MAPSYM utility that converts map files produced by the linker into symbol files used by some debuggers. This version has been modified to understand 32-bit offsets. |
| MASM.EXE |
MASM 5.10A for building device drivers. |
| MASM5.EXE |
MASM 5.10B (flat model) for 386 virtual devices. A version of the Microsoft Macro Assembler, version 5.10B, that supports the 32-bit address space required for virtual devices. It has been named MASM5.EXE so it will not conflict with the standard MASM executables. |
| MKPRN.EXE |
PostScript resource tool. |
| PFMEDIT.EXE |
PFM Editor for PFM and PCM fonts. |
| SLIBCEW.LIB |
The Windows version of the C version 6.0 runtime libraries. |
| TREEEX2.BAT |
Used with TREEEXP.BAT to decompress DDK source files. |
| TREEEX3.BAT |
Used with TREEEXP.BAT to decompress DDK source files. |
| TREEEXP.BAT |
Used to decompress DDK source files. |
| WALK.EXE |
Used by TREEXP.BAT to search for and decompress source files in directories. |
