Kolejny mail od windrivera :) DO windy mnie namawiaja ;)

==================BEGIN FORWARDED MESSAGE==================

Hello Lech,

Thank you for sending us your detailed need out of the OS/2 version of
WinDriver.

We are at the final stages of a second version of this beta - which should
support all that you have specified.

I will email you once it is ready and instruct you how to download it from
our web site. It should take no more then a few days.

In the mean while I suggest you download the regular Windows version and
start writing your driver with it. The Windows version includes a powerful
Wizard that enables you to detect and diagnose your hardware before you
write a single line of code. The wizard will also automatically generate
most of your driver code.

All you will have left to do is to copy the files the wizard generated to
your OS/2 machine - replace the WinDriver kernel module with the
appropriate one for OS/2 and recompile. Your driver will now run on Windows
9x, 2000/NT and OS/2 (at least for the evaluation period).

Please feel free to contact me any time with any question you may have on
WinDriver for OS/2 or any other OS.

Regards,

Arie Tal
