=== PCAUSA NDIS Developer Tools ===

November 16, 2001 - PCAUSA has made the first release of "NDIS Developer
Tools", a collection of NDIS-related utilities that you may find useful.

At this time the tools collection includes:

* "OID Scope" - User-Mode NDIS Query Tool
* "OID Lookup" - OID Value/MACRO Name Lookup Tool


OID Scope
========
OID Scope is a tool that I have had on my "to do" list for years. It allows
you to select any NDIS adapter and then make a NDIS query on any of the OIDs
that it supports. OID Scope uses the IOCTL_NDIS_QUERY_GLOBAL_STATS
DeviceIoControl method to make the queries. Since this method does not
actually involve a NDIS protocol driver, not all results will "make sense"
when made this way.

OID Scope only supports the Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP
platforms.

Several of the features of OID Scope (such as the display mechanism for
selecting and displaying any OID query) were extracted from updated NDIScope
application being prepared for the next release of Rawether ofr Windows.


OID Lookup
=========
OID Lookup is a simple application is a database of OID values and their
MACRO names. You can search either way.

OID information is derived from the Windows XP Gold DDK NTDDNDIS.H header
file.


More Information
============
These tools are free, and are provided in executable form only. I hope to
add a few more tools when I get some time.
