Version Section

[Version]
Signature="$Chicago$"
Class=<class-name>
Provider=<INF-Creator>
LayoutFile=<filename.inf>

Defines the standard header for all Windows 95 INF files. Note that if the signature is not $Chicago$ then Windows 95 will not accept the INF file as an INF file for any of the classes of devices recognized by Windows 95. For a list of all the device classes recognized by Windows 95, see the topic Introducing the INF Editor.

Note the signature string recognition is case-insensitive. So, for example, you can use either $Chicago$ or $CHICAGO$.
