/****************************************************************************

                Copyright Microsoft Corp. 1992
                       Doctor Example

    FILE:       doctorc.c
    
    USAGE:      doctorc  -n network_address
                         -p protocol_sequence
                         -e endpoint
                         -o options

    PURPOSE:    Client side of RPC distributed application
    
    FUNCTIONS:  main() - binds to server and calls remote procedure
    
    COMMENTS:   This version of the distributed application prints
                strings from the Doctor server.  Doctor is an Eliza-like
                personal therapist program that works by simple 
                pattern-matching.
