1. OVERVIEW
===========

TVicHW32 are general purpose shareware device drivers for use with practically any 
programming language. They allow you to access and control hardware directly from 
within a Win32 application without using the Windows DDK. Included in package are: 

- DLL for use with MS VC++, Borland C++ and other compilers 
- VCL component specifically for use with Borland Delphi 2/3/4 and C++ Builder 1/3
- ActiveX (OCX) component for use with Microsoft Visual Basic and other compilers

TVicHW32 includes transparent support for Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 3.5 or higher, 
providing programmers with standard methods for real-time direct access to port I/O, 
memory mapped I/O and hardware interrupts - without requiring you to write a custom 
virtual device driver for Windows 95/98 or a kernel-mode driver for Windows NT.

Evaluation copies of the TVicHW32 consist of the following
elements:

  - \DRIVERS\vichw00.vxd and vichw00.sys
    evaluation run-time kernel mode drivers, which manage all port
    and memory I/0, and interrupt handling;
