   8 <h1>Readme file for ADFLib on Win32</h1>
   9 <p>
  10 <p>This file contains additional information on using ADFLib under 32-bit Windows.
  11   See the main library documentation for more general info.
  12 <h2>Compiling the library on Win32 platforms</h2>
  13 <p>The ADFLib distribution contains a two makefiles for nmake:
  14 <p><b>Win32Lib.mak</b><br>
  15   Compiles the ADFLib as a static library. To use it, simply link your program
  16   with adflib.lib and #include adflibusr.h.
  17 <p><b>Win32DLL.mak</b><br>
  18   Compiles ADFLib as a DLL. This will produce the files ADFLib.dll, ADFLib.lib
  19   (the import library to link with your
  20 <p>Both makefiles contain debug and release targets. To specify which one to use,
  21   use a command line like this:
  22 <pre>NMAKE /f "ADFLib.mak" CFG="ADFLib - Win32 Release"</pre>
  23 <p>The makefiles will produce a debug version of the library by default if no
  24   configuration is specified.
  25 <h2>The Win32 native functions</h2>
  26 <p>When ADFLib is compiled under Win32, the Win32 native functions will be linked,
  27   allowing you to access Amiga harddisks directly in Windows. Current only Windows
  28   NT is supported - support for Windows 95 and 98 is in the pipeline.
  29 <p>For the direct drive access routines to work under Windows NT, you need administrative
  30   priviledges. This is a security feature of Windows NT and there is no way around
  31   it.
  32 <p>To open a physical device, simply use the following format as the filname:
  33 <pre>|Hx</pre>
  34 <p>Where x is the ID of the drive to mount. Example:
  35 <pre>hd = adfMountDev(&quot;|H1&quot;);</pre>
  36 <p>Your system boot device always has an ID of 0. Attempting to mount it is not
  37   a good idea!
