Derek, More than likely you're looking for a kernel hook. This gives you the ability to tell a kernel module your application wants to receive notification about certain kernel api events. Microsoft produces a special sdk for developing these called the "Driver Developement Kit" or windows DDK.
Its part of an MSDN subscription or available at: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/ddk/default.mspx -- cb On 9/20/06, Richard Gaskin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Like most apps, Rev uses the Win API to do its thing, so Win must be loaded for the API to be available. Such a specialized need will require something deeper, perhaps talking directly to the BIOS. I'm no Windows expert -- maybe Chipp's engineer can chime in for guidance. If you don't mind my asking, what does your app do that it needs to run outside of Windows? -- Richard Gaskin Managing Editor, revJournal _______________________________________________________ Rev tips, tutorials and more: http://www.revJournal.com _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
