How can compile or run this file

I got from Microsoft (included in Win DDK) an application called DevCon with
a file called msg.mc
This file suppose to be used to create the msg.h file
How can I create it (I assume it is a Macro file)

Thank you,
Samuel Shulman

Use the Message Compiler (mc.exe)

A .mc file is probably a "message file." It contains the text and other
information about messages which can be "compiled" by the message
compiler into a message resource that can be added to an application.

The message compiler is MC.EXE which is normally installed along with
VC++ in the \bin directory. You should also have a MC.HLP file which
will tell you how to use the message compiler.
