Hi, Jamey,
We are in the process of issuing Beta 1 of our DriverStudio 2.5, with a new
distributed SoftIce and more, and that will have a new version of
srctodsp.exe which will hopefully work with Win2k and Whistler Beta 2. The
version up on the web is a bit older, and you have to tweak it, as you say.
As soon as we get out of this cycle of pre-beta QA and what not, I’ll see if
I can steal some cycles from one of the developers to generate an up-to-date
srctodsp.exe on the web site! Thing is, srctodsp doesn’t belong to me but to
a fellow manager, so I have to pay him a beer or two. But he’s been using it
to convert all his DriverNetworks samples to VC6, so we know it does work
with Win2K. XP2 is a different story, we’re going to have to test it and see
what we need to change. But give me a week or two, and I’ll put a better
version up on the web for everyone to use.
If I don’t come back on ntdev within a couple of weeks with something,
please pull my chain! This is a relatively small item, it shouldn’t be hard
to get it done quickly.
Alberto.

Alberto,
Does CompuWare have any plans on updating this utility to work with
2000/whistler. Currently, I make the dsp and dsw and then tweak the dsp file
to work with 2K. It would be nice to not have to tweak it each time.
Jamey

Try srctodsp.exe from numega.
