Hi Kris,

It has always been my understanding that C++Builder is not capable of 
building Windows device drivers.  That is always on their "what would you 
like to see in C++Builder?" questionnaire, but apparently it never gets 
enough votes to make it a reality.  It's too bad, but at the same time, I 
can understand it.  C++Builder's primarily selling point is that it is a RAD 
tool.  It can be used to do non-RAD (GUI) development, but that's not where 
it really shines.
