The source files within each directory (with the exception 
of the Windows samples) follow the naming convention: 
 
README.TXT     Instructions to build, run the sample 
<dirname>.IDL  Interface definition language file 
<dirname>.ACF  Application configuration file 
<dirname>C.C   Client main program 
<dirname>S.C   Server main program 
<dirname>P.C   Remote procedures 
MAKEFILE       Nmake file to build Windows NT or Windows 95 version 
MAKEFILE.DOS   Nmake file to build MS-DOS version 
MAKEFILE.WIN   Nmake file to build Win 3.x version 
 
The Microsoft Windows sample programs use several additional 
files and do not conform to this naming convention. See the 
README.TXT file in each directory for specific information 
about the files. 
 
 
NOTE for building client applications on MS-DOS / WIN 3.x 
--------------------------------------------------------- 
 
You will first need to install the Microsoft Visual C/C++ version 1.5 
development environment and the 16-bit RPC SDK on your Windows NT or 
Windows 95 machine. 
 
There are two different versions of RPC.H for MS-DOS and WIN 3.x. 
Please add the proper path to your INCLUDE environment variable.
