I've gotJ it to load and connect under FT4.  However, where to go from there, I'm at  a loss (ie. It's up to you ;-)).  K Included in this is a MAKE.COM that compiles both ASNVDM6 and VDDRIVERALPHA G and links them.  This is taken from our standard Make environment here.    Here is what I fixed:   > 	1) Add the macro DRIVER_DATA (out of LIB.MLB) at the start of% 	   the data section (DPT, DDT, etc).   A 	2) Add the macro DRIVER_CODE (again out of LIB.MLB) at the start  	   of the FDT code.  B 	3) Changed all references off of AP to IRP$L_QIO_Pn(R3) since youC 	   are no longer passed an AP.  Instead, the P1 thru P6 parameters  	   are stored in the IRP.  B 	4) Move UCBTBL from the bottom of the file up to the data section? 	   under the control of DRIVER_DATA.  Removed the reference to  	   PSECT $$$103d.  A 	5) Substantially changed the .OPT file.  The new options file is E 	   now known as VDDRIVER.ALPHA_OPT.  You were missing a lot of stuff B 	   about collecting the EXE$ stuff together to allow for slicing.  D About the changes to the options file.  You may want to send mail toM Gerard Newman (gkn@tgv.com) who can explain the linker options better than I. K I'm still learning why they are needed and will probably mess up explaining 
 it correctly.   L You will probably notice that ASNVDM6 fails to link properly using Make.Com.L However, if you issue the same command from the command line it works, don't	 know why.   L If there is anything else I can help with, let me know.  Sorry for taking soK long at this, but with InterOp and the Alpha announcement, I've been pretty  busy.      Patrick L.
