device-independent way for Windows subsystem software such as 3-D
graphics packages, games interface packages, or digital video codecs to
access display device-dependent features. Applications should be using
WinG and Video for Windows, which will use DCI or other methods to
communicate efficiently with the hardware, and also work on Windows NT.
DCI works with Windows 3.1 and will work with Windows "Chicago"; due to
architectural differences, Windows NT does not support DCI, which is

ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Developr/DRG/Plug-and-Play/SCSI/pnpscsi.zip
This is "Plug and Play SCSI Specification", version 1.00, March 30, 1994.
This specification defines requirements for building Plug and Play (PnP)
SCSI host adapters, cables, and peripheral devices by establishing a
profile for PC applications. This common profile (of the SCSI-2
standard, and SCSI-3 Parallel Interface or SPI draft standard) simplifies
integration and configuration of SCSI systems. PnP SCSI simplifies
termination by making proper termination a side effect of cabling the
system (terminators are not included in SCSI peripheral devices; thus
the confusion over the presence of a terminator and the possibility of
excessive terminators are eliminated). PnP SCSI eliminates the problem
of setting unique SCSI IDs through use of an automatic ID assignment
protocol called SCAM (legacy SCSI devices are permitted to coexist with
newer SCAM devices by using an ID assignment convention for the
peripheral device class). PnP SCSI specifies the SCSI 50-position
high-density shielded connector for all external connectors and requires
that the cables meet the SPI draft standard (this eliminates the
confusion that previously existed with the multiplicity of connector
and cable choices). Version 1.0 of this specification replaces the
previous available version, 0.97. Pnpscsi.zip contains pnpscsi.doc, a
Microsoft Word 6.0 document.

Static WinG Sample Application
This is Static, a WinG sample application. It illustrates what could be
considered a 'minimum' WinG application. It creates a bitmap, and gets a
pointer to the data buffer associated with the bitmap. It also creates
a palette, and properly associated this palette with the bitmap, and
then it randomly selects a color index for the first pixel in the bitmap,
and then proceeds to walk the entire bitmap, indexing the color of each
pixel based on the first pixel. To use this as a starting point for your
WinG application, you would want to modify the code that sets the colors
of the selected palette (Static is just using random values), and then
you would want to modify the code that is being used to assign the values
of the pixels to be appropriate for your application.

Plug and Play External COM Device Specification v0.99
This is "Plug and Play External COM Device Specification", version 0.99,
dated October 20, 1994 (this replaces version 0.94). This specification
presents a mechanism to provide automatic configuration capability to
peripheral devices (like mice and serial printers) that connect to a PC
using COM ports. The essential elements of Plug and Play (PnP) COM are
detecting attachment of serial devices, identifying the device, locating
a driver for the device, and detecting detachment of serial devices. The
two major architectural goals to support full PnP of COM devices are to
focus on ease-of-use for the end-user, and to maintain backward and
forward compatibility. Compatibility is maintained such that PnP COM
devices will electrically and functionally inter-operate with standard
EIA/TIA-232-E, EIA/TIA-574 and equivalent serial ports and with existing
software for compatible serial devices. Any software that does PnP COM
Enumeration will detect PnP compatible COM devices, but will not damage,
incapacitate or confuse older non-PnP COM devices.

AutoRun: An 'AutoPlay' Example for Windows 95
AutoRun illustrates the new 'AutoPlay' feature that has been added
to Windows 95. AutoPlay is the method by which the operating system
will automatically execute your application off of CD-ROM when the
CD is inserted into the drive, if you include an \AUTORUN.INF for
the system to process. It is intended that this sample code
demonstrate how to seamlessly integrate the Windows 95 AutoPlay
functionality with your application.
Included in this archive are a few things to demonstrate this. AutoRun
is a sample Win32 application which is run by the AUTORUN.INF as a
"splash screen" application; it calls the main application, Static.exe,
an x86 Win32 executable sample application. AutoRun can be easily
modified to use an application other than Static. The AutoRun Win32
code will work in Windows 95, Windows NT, or Windows 3.1 using Win32s.
For more information on AutoRun, see AutoRun.wri; for more information
on the Windows 95 AutoPlay interface, see AutoPlay.doc.
