I'm looking to compile a device driver in C. I've seen a number of
simple device drivers written in assembly, but I'd prefer C.

AFAIK, a device driver is a most likely in COM format; the primary
difference is that the PSP is specially formatted with the Device Driver
Header, dispatch table, etc. Is there anyway to pass this information to
the compiler to format? I'd hate to go in afterwards and splice together
some compiled C and patched-up device driver header.

Jon
