Hi Udo, et al. I must agree with you that the Packet Driver specification is very terse and unreadable. AFAIK, the way it works is that an implementer needs to...
Hi Joe, ... that is probably due to core.exe using floating point arithmetic. To eliminate the need for win87em.dll, which the Windows emulation does not ...
