I often find myself looking at MS sample code, and then typing it out again,
in an almost identical structure (procedure-wise.) And for things like
switch statements, I have found copying and pasting the case labels a
time-saver. Note that there is a little bit of code from MS commented out in
mmdrv.sys I think - but it's commented out, and I have placed a little note
there.
If that's unacceptable, someone please rewrite it.
