If you could find someone willing to disassemble and document the
interactions of:

	WIN95AC.VXD
	VMM32.VXD (vcomm.vxd)
	TURBOVCD.VXD
	TURBOVBF.VXD
	HCFCSA32.DLL
	HCFCSA.DLL
	ROKV42.VXD
	ROKKMOS.VXD
	DPAL.VXD
	HCFPNP.VX

And, in particular, how to locate and extract the codec bits from
these files for use by a UNIX driver that directly references the
Windows driver files, I would appreciate it.
