Hi Alan,

using strace made it clear why the command did not output anything:
it was missing a couple of DLLs. (An annoying property of Windows:
command-line programs that are missing DLLs may fail completely
silently - no message or message box).

Anyway, the attachment shows the output from:
./get-drv-info ps.so

I have little experience with strace, so I can not say much
about the cause of it all.

Regards,

Arjen
