1.1       root        1: This directory contains the files that describe the gateway
                      2: protocol to the DCE Cell Directory Service (CDS):

                      6: README.TXT    This readme file
                      7: NSICLT.IDL    Client-side interface
                      8: NSISVR.IDL    Server-side interface
                      9: NSICOM.IDL    Interface common to client and server
                     10: 
                     11: The OSF DCE environment uses the DCE Cell Directory Service
                     12: (CDS) for its RPC name service. However, the OSF has not yet
                     13: released a specification of the protocol used to access the
                     14: CDS. To allow interoperation between DCE computers and RPC
                     15: client applications that call RPC name service API
                     16: functions, you must use a gateway to the DCE CDS.
                     17: 
                     18: To help you develop such a gateway, Microsoft defines an
                     19: interface for a gateway protocol in the files NSICLT.IDL,
                     20: NSSVR.IDL, and NSICOM.IDL, and provides the client-side
                     21: implementation of this gateway protocol in RPCNS.DLL. One
                     22: such implementation of the server side gateway is currently
                     23: available in the Digital Equipment Corporation DCE Starter
                     24: Kit.
                     25: 
                     26: To use the gateway so that your RPC application can
                     27: interoperate with DCE RPC applications:
                     28: 
                     29: 1) Verify that the gateway is started on the DCE host
                     30: 
                     31: 2) Verify that the client is running the TCP/IP transport
                     32: 
                     33: 3) (Microsoft Windows NT only) Set the registry entry
                     34: Software\Microsoft\Rpc\NameService\ServerNetworkAddress to a
                     35: string of the form "<ip address of gateway 1>; <ip address
                     36: of gateway 2>...", where <ip address of gateway n> is the ip
                     37: address of the nth gateway in the list.
                     38: 
                     39: 4) Set the following registry entries under Software\
                     40: Microsoft\Rpc\NameService to the following values:
                     41:

                     47: 
                     48: To change registry entry settings on Microsoft Windows NT,
                     49: use the REGEDIT utility. On MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows,
                     50: edit the text file RPCREG.DAT.
