1.1     ! root        1: File:  mandel\readme.txt
        !             2: Date:  November 1991
        !             3: 
        !             4: The mandel application demonstrates a sample Windows client
        !             5: distributed application.  The client calls a remote
        !             6: procedure that performs the intensive calculations needed
        !             7: for the image.
        !             8: 
        !             9: BUILDING THE SAMPLE PROGRAM
        !            10: 
        !            11: You can build the application from its source files using
        !            12: the nmake utility. The makefile allows you to build a
        !            13: standalone version (without RPC) or a version that uses
        !            14: remote procedure call over local named pipes on the NT
        !            15: server (with RPC). The makefile also supports both i386 and
        !            16: MIPS computers.
        !            17: 
        !            18: To build the application for the i386 environment, set the
        !            19: CPU environment variable to "i386":
        !            20: 
        !            21: >set CPU=i386
        !            22: 
        !            23: To build the application for the MIPS environment, set the
        !            24: CPU environment variable to "MIPS":
        !            25: 
        !            26: >set CPU=MIPS
        !            27: 
        !            28: To build and run a standalone version of the application
        !            29: called mandel.exe, use the following commands so that the
        !            30: RPC environment variable is undefined:
        !            31: 
        !            32: >set RPC=
        !            33: >nmake cleanall
        !            34: >nmake
        !            35: 
        !            36: To build the RPC version of the application, client.exe and
        !            37: server.exe, use the following commands:
        !            38: 
        !            39: >set RPC=1
        !            40: >nmake cleanall
        !            41: >nmake
        !            42: 
        !            43: If you have difficulty building the application, it may be
        !            44: that some files are in different directories than expected.
        !            45: You may need to set the LIB, PATH and INCLUDE environment
        !            46: variables.
        !            47: 
        !            48: RUNNING THE DISTRIBUTED APPLICATION
        !            49: 
        !            50: To run the standalone version of the mandel application,
        !            51: type
        !            52: 
        !            53: >mandel
        !            54: 
        !            55: To run the RPC version of the mandel application, start the
        !            56: server side of the distributed application:
        !            57: 
        !            58: >net start server
        !            59: >server
        !            60: 
        !            61: The server program starts and waits for client requests. To
        !            62: start the client application, start another screen group and
        !            63: type the name of the executable program.
        !            64: 
        !            65: >client
        !            66: 
        !            67: The client application calls the server application in the
        !            68: server screen group to calculate the data for the picture.
        !            69: 
        !            70: If the client is unable to bind to the server, the client
        !            71: displays a status code.  For example, if a call to the RPC
        !            72: API function fails, the client application may display the
        !            73: text:
        !            74: 
        !            75: > RpcBindToInterface: yyyyzzzz
        !            76: 
        !            77: where yyyyzzzz is an 8-digit hexadecimal status code. The
        !            78: RPC status code is in the least significant 16 bits (the
        !            79: "zzzz" portion) of the 32-bit status code.  RPC status codes
        !            80: are documented in the RPC runtime documentation.
        !            81: 
        !            82: The "continuous" option indicates whether the program will
        !            83: continuously draw images.
        !            84: 
        !            85: The "zoom in" option is effective only after you have
        !            86: selected a region using the left mouse button.
        !            87:
