Vireo Software's REGFSD example. Walter Oney's FSD sample from "Systems Programming for Windows 95" and Stan Mitchell's FSD sample from "Inside the Windows 95 File System" are all extremely useful. However, all of these samples are limited in their functionality and hence are limited in their usefulness to the developer.
The PCAUSA sample provides a fully functional FSD and companion Network Provider (NP) that can be used as a point of departure for developing a "real" FSD or Network Redirector. The Sample Network uses Ring 0 file I/O to emulate "real" operation, including browsing in the network neighborhood, the creation and editing of files using applications such as Microsoft Work and Excel, dragging of files and folders, etc.

PCAUSA's mission is to provide specialized network software development toolkits for the Microsoft Windows platforms. These toolkits consist of the source code to a collection of network-oriented VxD's(95), kernel-mode device drivers (NT), DLL's and associated test applications: the Network samples you wished were provided on the Microsoft DDK.
Although these samples are basically annotated "shells" which, with stubs for the functionality which you must provide, they can be compiled "out-of-the-box" and installed as working components of the Windows 95 or Windows NT network architecture. Some PCAUSA products have been shipping for over a year, and it's now safe to say that they are more than just "samples". The PCAUSA codebase provides a working, well established, performance oriented foundation for development of specialized commercial networking products.
And third generation products, such as the WinDis 32 Framework, offer even more functionality.
In general, PCAUSA offers both Windows 95 and Windows NT samples with similar functionality, with the goal being to support the eventual migration of "Windows software" to the Windows NT platform.
Printing Communications Associates, Inc. (PCA or PCAUSA) is a software development and consulting company founded in 1988 by Thomas F. Divine, and incorporated in the State of Georgia in July of 1992.
PCAUSA's initial development focus was on providing AppleTalk network solutions on non-AppleTalk platforms, including DOS and Windows workstations and PostScript print servers.
In 1996 PCAUSA began a transition from consulting to licensing of specialized network development toolkits for the Microsoft Windows platforms. PCAUSA's RAWETHER was introduced in June of 1996, and has been successfully used by many companies as a starting point for development of Network Analyzer products.
PCAUSA continues to expand and enhance its product offerings in the area of specialized network software development toolkits for the Microsoft Windows platforms.
