Announcing wiolib.dll, the support library for WFASTIO$. This .DLL is
designed to make calling I/O code via WFASTIO$ easy. The DLL automatically
handles the opening and closing of the device driver. All the user needs to
do is include the header file and link in WIOLIBDLL.LIB. Then you have access
to the I/O (via a call gate- faster than IOPL) functions: inp and family (like
the DOS calls) the io386 I/O calls
I put in the io386 calls because there are many people you use IOPL segments.
This means when you change the header you do not have to go through your code
and change function names.
