-
- We have been put to the task of converting a DOS communication
- driver (from radio packet communication) to the Windows environment.
-
- We need to know the issues involved. Issues concerning memory management,
- interrupt handling and multitasking have us a little concerned.
-
- For example, the current driver communicates with its client
- applications via a software interrupt - is it feasible to
- continue with this philosophy under windows or will it be
- required to use DDE or some other interfacing technique?
-
- Any answers to these questions or pointers to sources would be
- greatly appreciated!
