VxDLIB:
This tool was primarily designed to extract Windows Virtual Device
Drivers (VxDs) from W3 (WIN386.EXE) & W4 (VMM32.VXD) format archive
files. The W4 format is unique to Windows '95 and is a compressed W3
image, the compression algorithm is the same as that used by DoubleSpace
(aka DriveSpace) and MRCI (Microsoft's Realtime Compression Interface),
and uses a Lempel Ziv (LZ) technique to replace repeating data patterns.
This tool can also unpack a W4 file so that tools like Andrew Schulman's
W3MAP can work as they did with Windows 3.xx. Unpacking the file will
also allow you to examine the file with regular hex editors. Unpacked
files will typically take up far more space, my copy of VMM32.VXD went
from 0.7MB to 2.0MB. A temporary file is created during pack/unpack
operations, so this program should be run from the directory where the
W3/W4 file resides. Files can be packed, or repacked, using this tool.
I have been able to achieve higher compression ratios than Microsoft's
DEVLIB tool by finding the best match in the history buffer rather than
just a good one. Compression speeds are markedly slower than DEVLIB,
this is because I'm lazy and wrote this tool in C, not highly optimized
assembler as Microsoft did, and not because I'm an Electronics Engineer!
If you found this tool to be mildly useful or entertaining please send
me some Email, positive feedback is always good to get and makes writing
FREEWARE worth while. If you didn't like this tool, discard it, and keep
your sentiments to yourself.

OS : Indicated the Windows version, 0x0400, Windows 4.0
Chunk Size : This WORD defines the size of the chunks. The loader expects
the chunk size to be 8K. This is much like the concept of a disk cluster.
I originally called chunks, clusters until I found that Microsoft refers
to them as chunks in DEVLIB (Win95 DDK).
Chunk Count : This WORD defines the number of chunks contained in the file.
The loader verifies this is less than 1024
Chunk # File Offset : This DWORD defines an absolute file offset from the
beginning of the EXE file to the start of the compressed chunk, the loader
expects the chunks are consecutive order, the size of the final chunk is
deterined using the file length
The first Compressed chunk follows immediately after the last Chunk # File
Offset entry.
Data encoded as either a Raw Byte or Depth usually followed by Count, a depth
of 0 and 4415 are special cases which require no count component. The depth of
0 indicates the end of the compressed chunk, and a depth of 4415 defines a 512
byte boundary has been reached, the first byte is not counted as a 512 byte
boundary.

I have finished writing Windows Source Version 3, which is now available
from V Communications Inc.
What is Windows Source?
Windows Source is an add-on to V Communications' Sourcer disassembler
which preprocesses executable, dynamic link library, device drivers and
VxD files for Windows 3.x, Windows '95 & Windows NT. It also provides
support for OS/2 1.x, 2.x & Warp.
Where possible symbolic debug information included in separate .SYM,
.DBG files, or included in Codeview or COFF debugging sections.
