WinDriver enables you to quickly develop high performance drivers for based devices. Using WinDriver developers can create drivers without having to use the DDK (Microsoft Driver Development Kit), and without any Operating system knowledge. The driver you write is portable among major operating systems (including Win9X, nt/2000, Windows ce, Linux, Solaris, VxWorks). Therefore you will have to write your driver only once (instead of writing two separate drivers for Win9x and for Win NT). WinDriver includes the "Driver Wizard", which tests the hardware through a Windows interface and automatically generates the driver source code for the hardware device. WinDriver provides user-mode APIs to your hardware, which you can call from within your application. Debugging the driver is then done with standard application-level debugging tools (such as MS Visual Studio and Borland Builder). After developing the driver, and debugging it in the user-mode, the WinDriver Kernel PlugIn (also included) enables the developer to 'drop' the user-mode code into the kernel, for optimal performance. WinDriver also includes the WinDriver Monitor, the Driver Wizard, and other tools for the driver development process.
