It is time for me to be the inquisitive idiot:
I have tried #pragma comment (user) and the text is placed in the obj file,
but when I use #pragma comment (exestr) I am not seeing the text in the .SYS
file. Am I missing something obvious?

The only use of #pragma comment I’ve ever seen is to make the linker drag in
.lib files. What are these?

They’re typically used to embed copywrite/patent notification strings
into executables. That said, it seems to work for me… OP: What
compiler version are you using? Also, is this what you’re trying to
do, or is it something else?

Yes. I am trying to embed copyright and patent information in the .SYS file.
The compiler is 6.0 SP4 under NT 4.0 with NT 4.0 DDK

Odd. We’re using VC 6.0 as well. Are you compiling this under the DDK
build environment or outside it?
I’d check linker flags to see if there are any that strip this kind of
info… don’t know of any, though…
I assume you’re viewing the .sys file in some kind of binary editor,
like VC++ File->Open->(open as binary)… if you’re looking in memory,
the docs say exestrs aren’t loaded.
Also, the docs imply that you can only have 256 comments in a module,
but there should be a linker error if this happens.
