  MICROSOFT DISTRIBUTED TRANSACTION COORDINATOR SAMPLE PROGRAMS 
**************************************************************** 
This file describes the Microsoft Distributed Transaction  
Coordinator (MS DTC) sample programs included with Microsoft(R)  
SQL Server(TM) Workstation System 6.5. 
 
For additional information about SQL Server 6.5, MS DTC, and ODBC, 
see the "What's New in SQL Server 6.5," "Guide to Microsoft 
Distributed Management Coordinator," and "Programming ODBC for SQL  
Server" sections of SQL Server Books Online, which contains the most  
up-to-date information available.

MICROSOFT DISTRIBUTED TRANSACTION COORDINATOR SAMPLE APPLICATIONS 
 
The following 32-bit C++ sample programs are located in the 
C:\MSSQL\SAMPLES\MSDTC directories by default: 
 
DBLIB 
Sample C++ program using 32-bit Visual C++ and the DB-Library 
interface to communicate with both MS DTC and SQL Server. Includes  
the following files: 
    DBLIB.MAK 
    DBLIB.CPP 
    DBLIB.MDP 
 
ODBC 
Sample C++ program using 32-bit Visual C++ and the ODBC interface to  
communicate with both MS DTC and SQL Server. Includes the following  
files: 
    ODBC.MAK 
    ODBC.CPP 
    ODBC.MDP 
 
Each project on the Intel(R) platform includes Visual C++ 4.0  
workspace files (.MDP). Double-click the workspace file to load  
the workspace and make file into the Developer Studio environment. 
 
Each project also contains cross-platform native Visual C++ 4.0 make  
files (.MAK). For each 32-bit project the .MAK file contains Intel,  
Alpha AXP(R), MIPS(R), and PowerPC(TM) build information. When the  
project is loaded into Developer Studio, pick the appropriate target,  
for example "Example1 - Win32 (ALPHA) Debug", and build it. 
 
You can also build from the command line. BUILDALL.BAT, a file that  
will build all of the 32-bit PTK samples, is in the samples directory.  
Use the following syntax:  
 
BUILDALL ({intel | alpha | mips | powerpc} {debug | release} {force}) 
 
To use these samples with Visual C++ 4.0, you need to ensure that  
your Library and Include directory settings point to your own  
directories. To do this using Developer Studio, from the Tools menu,  
choose Options, then click the Directories tab. From the "Show  
directories for" box, choose Include files and Library files, and  
ensure that these directories (as appropriate) are included: 
 
Include files:Library files: 
C:\MSSQL\DBLIB\INCLUDEC:\MSSQL\DBLIB\LIB 
C:\MSSQL\MSDTC\INCLUDEC:\MSSQL\MSDTC\LIB 
C:\MSSQL\ODBC\INCLUDEC:\MSSQL\ODS\LIB 
C:\MSSQL\ODS\INCLUDE 
C:\MSSQL\SQLOLE\INCLUDE 
 
The following Transact-SQL sample scripts are located in the 
C:\MSSQL\SAMPLES\MSDTC directories by default: 
 
DBLIB 
Sample Transact-SQL scripts that demonstrate communicating with both  
MS DTC and SQL Server. Includes the following files: 
    CHGADDR.SQL 
    UPDADR.SQL
