The only VxD's worth considering emulating are those used by popular applications which do not work under Windows NT/2000/XP, and which do very simple, limited things. A good example is a VxD call to retrieve a MAC address used by a common Win9x-only copy-protection scheme. That limits the number of VxD's worth emulating down severely. Does the app using SHRINKER not work under NT? - Dan
