DOCTOR


The DOCTOR program is an RPC psychotherapy application that demonstrates 
arrays, strings, and the size_is attribute.

FILES
=====

The directory \samples\rpc\handles\doctor contains the following files to 
build the distributed application DOCTOR:

File          Description

README.TXT    Readme file for the DOCTOR sample
DOCTOR.IDL    Interface definition language file
DOCTOR.ACF    Attribute configuration file
DOCTORC.C     Client main program
DOCTORS.C     Server main program
DOCTORP.C     Remote procedures
MAKEFILE      Nmake file to build for NT
MAKEFILE.DOS  Nmake file to build for MS-DOS

-------------------------------------------
BUILDING CLIENT AND SERVER APPLICATIONS FOR
MICROSOFT WINDOWS NT OR WINDOWS 95
-------------------------------------------

The following environment variables should be already set for you:

  set CPU=i386
  set INCLUDE=%SDKROOT%\h
  set LIB=%SDKROOT%\lib
  set PATH=%SDKROOT%\system32;%SDKROOT%\bin

where %SDKROOT% is the root directory for the 32-bit Windows SDK.

For mips, set CPU=mips
For alpha, set CPU=alpha

Build the sample distributed application:

  nmake cleanall
  nmake

This builds the executable programs doctorc.exe
(client) and doctors.exe (server).

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

After installing the Microsoft Visual C/C++ version 1.50 development
environment and the 16-bit RPC SDK on a Windows NT or Windows 95
computer, you can build the sample client application from Windows NT
or Windows 95:

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

This builds the client application doctorc.exe.

You may also execute the Microsoft Visual C/C++ compiler under MS-DOS.
This requires a two-step build process.

  Step One: Compile the .IDL files under Windows NT or Windows 95:

     nmake -a -f makefile.dos doctor.h

  Step Two: Compile the C sources (stub and application) under MS-DOS:

     nmake -f makefile.dos

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

On the server, enter:

  doctors

On the client, enter:

  net start workstation
  doctorc

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:

  doctorc -?

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

  doctors -?
