Item ID   Filename       Description
-------   --------       -----------

S14603    94WINQA.EXE    The 94WINQA.EXE file contains the source code for
                         the "Windows Q & A" column by Matt Pietrek.

S14602    94W32QA.EXE    The 94W32QA.EXE file contains the source code for
                         the "Win32 Q & A" column by Jeffrey Richter.

S14604    NTPERF.EXE     The NTPERF.EXE file contains the source code for
                         the article named "Removing Bottlenecks from Your
                         Program with Windows NT Performance-Tuning Tools,"
                         by Walter Oney.

                         Walter Oney shows how to diagnose and cure major
                         bottlenecks that often crop up in your code. His
                         examples include a program with a bad algorithm
                         that wastes CPU time and a poorly constructed
                         application that starts slowly due to its huge
                         initial working set.

S14605    MCI.EXE        The MCI.EXE file contains the source code for the
                         article named "Simplify Access to Complex Multi-
                         media Devices with the Media Control Interface,"
                         by Jeff Prosise.

                         MCI consists of device drivers plus high-level
                         message- and string-based functions for
                         communicating with device types ranging from CD
                         and tape players to scanners, VCRs, and video-
                         disks. Here, Jeff Prosise examines MCI in the
                         context of the CD Audio driver.
