It should read:

In the second full bulleted paragraph, the fourth sentence

reads:

"Use IoInitializeIrp(), in conjunction with IoAllocateIrp(),
to initialize the common fields in the IRP header."

On page 638, there is a warning that you should NOT do this. In
addition, the Windows DDK is wrong (it says to do what page 171
says) and there is a knowledge base article on the subject at MS
saying that the DDK is wrong.

So, page 638 is correct and page 171 is incorrect.

[410 and diskette] The 27th-29th lines of code now read:

RequestedDisposition =
((PtrIoStackLocation->Parameters.Create.Options >> 24)
&& 0xFF);

Should be:

RequestedDisposition =
((PtrIoStackLocation->Parameters.Create.Options >> 24)
& 0xFF);

There is an extra & in the last line. The same error exists in the code
on the supplied diskette.

7th paragraph (1st paragraph of description of EaIndex paramter for NtQueryEaFile)

The description for the EaIndex parameter of NtQUeryEaFile says that it is a zero-
based index. In reality, it is a one-based index.
