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 inoutc.exe (client) and  
inouts.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 inoutc.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 inout.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: 
 
  inouts 
 
On the client, enter: 
 
  net start workstation 
  inoutc 
 
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: 
 
  inoutc -? 
 
For a listing of switches available from the server program, enter: 
 
  inouts -?
