RE: [Q] What does DRVO_LEGACY_DRIVER mean?

Hey whatever floats your boat :slight_smile:

As for me, I like to minimize risk and exposure wherever possible. I think
its an age-difference life perspective thing.

None taken. :wink:

What’s the big deal? – they’re just 32-bit PE files (and certainly simpler
than building VxDs with Borland C++!). Any Win32 compiler/linker ought to
do (with perhaps the help of a little program like I’ve got to fix up the
header, flags, etc…). That and I prefer Borland (or pretty much just about
anything) over Microsoft tools.
