This article is designed to give the reader a general introduction to the functionality of the Microsoft Windows pen driver by explaining what the source does and how it does it. It is assumed that the reader has a basic understanding of pen driver functionality and is familiar with the Windows Device Driver Kit (DDK).

The files of interest are: DISABLE.ASM, ENABLE.ASM, FILTER.ASM, INSTALL.ASM, LOAD.ASM, MISC.ASM, PLAY.ASM, WACOM.ASM, and DIALOGS.C.
