Creating TXTSETUP.OEM

[Will]

Many of the Compaq / HP Windows 2000 driver downloads only contain .CAT,
..INF, and .SYS files needed to install new devices under Windows. What's
lacking is a TXTSETUP.OEM file, which is used at minimum with the Windows
2000 install CD when you need to add a new device while installing. Is
there a trick to creating the TXTSETUP.OEM file when it is not provided by
the vendor?

So I have to create TXTSETUP.OEM by hand? Kind of ugly. :)

It would have been nice to have some automation in creating TXTSETUP.OEM
output from the normal Windows .INF files.
