-------------------------------------------
BUILDING CLIENT AND SERVER APPLICATIONS FOR
MICROSOFT WINDOWS NT:
-------------------------------------------

Set the environment variables appropriately:
  set CPU=i386
  set INCLUDE=c:\nt\sdk\inc;c:\nt\sdk\inc\crt
  set LIB=c:\nt\sdk\lib\i386
  set PATH=c:\nt\windows\system;
or
  set CPU=MIPS
  set INCLUDE=c:\nt\sdk\inc;c:\nt\sdk\inc\crt
  set LIB=c:\nt\sdk\lib\mips
  set PATH=c:\nt\windows\system;

Build the sample distributed application:
  nmake cleanall
  nmake

This builds the executable programs helloc.exe 
(client) and hellos.exe (server).

------------------------------------------
BUILDING THE CLIENT APPLICATION FOR MS-DOS
------------------------------------------

After you install the Microsoft C/C++ version 7.0
development environment and the Microsoft RPC version
1.0 toolkit on an MS-DOS or Microsoft Windows computer,
you can build the sample client application for MS-DOS.
Enter:

  nmake -f makefile.dos cleanall
  nmake -f makefile.dos

This builds the client application helloc.exe.

------------------------------------------
RUNNING THE CLIENT AND SERVER APPLICATIONS
------------------------------------------

On the server, enter

  net start workstation
  net start server
  hellos

On the client, enter

  net start workstation
  helloc

Note:  The client and server applications can run on
the same Microsoft Windows NT computer when you use
different screen groups.

Several command line switches are available to change
settings for this program. For a listing of the switches
available from the client program, enter

  helloc -?

For a listing of switches available from the server 
program, enter
