USRDEF 
 
 
The USRDEF program demonstrates the use of user-defined handles. 
 
The directory samples\rpc\handles\usrdef contains the following files 
for building the sample distributed application USRDEF: 
 
File          Description 
 
README.TXT    Readme file for the USRDEF sample 
USRDEF.IDL    Interface definition language file 
USRDEF.ACF    Attribute configuration file 
USRDEFC.C     Client main program 
USRDEFS.C     Server main program 
USRDEFP.C     Remote procedures 
MAKEFILE      Nmake file to build for Windows NT or Windows 95 
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 set for you already. 
 
  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 usrdefc.exe 
(client) and usrdefs.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 usrdefc.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 usrdef.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 
 
  usrdefs 
 
On the client, enter 
 
  net start workstation 
  usrdefc 
 
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 
 
  usrdefc -? 
 
For a listing of switches available from the server 
program, enter 
 
  usrdefs -?
