RPCSS


The RPCSS program demonstrates the rpcss memory management model.

FILES
=====

The directory samples\rpc\rpcssm contains the following files for building
the sample distributed application RPCSS:

File          Description

README.TXT    Readme file for the rpcssm sample
rpcssm.IDL    Interface definition language file
rpcssm.ACF    Attribute configuration file
rpcssmC.C     Client main program
rpcssmS.C     Server main program
rpcssmP.C     Remote procedures
MAKEFILE      Nmake file to build for Windows NT or Windows 95

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

The following environment variables should already be 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 rpcssmc.exe (client) and 
rpcssms.exe (server).

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

This sample does not currently support a DOS build.

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

On the server, enter:

  rpcssms

On the client, enter:

  net start workstation
  rpcssmc

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:

  rpcssmc -?

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

  rpcssms -?

---------------------
RUNNING ON WINDOWS 95
---------------------

If you wish to run the server on Windows 95, you will need to use
the LRPC protocol.

To start the server, enter:

 rpcssms -p ncalrpc

To start the client (from the same machine), enter:

 rpcssmc -p ncalrpc
