LIB files for MSVC and BCC are provided with the DLL but the DLL itself is stripped and +I've tried an entire day to compile this driver under Cygwin without success, despite +Wu Yongwei's hints (http://www.geocities.com/yongweiwu/dllfaq.htm). + +This does not mean that it's an impossible task, but probably I left out something important. +Temporary KO. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +GMB 23/1/08
