MANDEL 
 
 
The MANDEL program is a distributed fractal drawing application that uses  
reference pointers, the implicit_handle attribute and handl_t primitive types.

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 client.exe and server.exe for Microsoft  
Windows NT or Windows 95. 
 
-------------------------------------------- 
BUILDING THE CLIENT APPLICATION FOR WIN 3.X 
-------------------------------------------- 
 
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.win cleanall 
  nmake -f makefile.win 
 
This builds the client application client.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.win yield.h 
 
  Step Two: Compile the C sources (stub and application) under MS-DOS: 
 
     nmake -f makefile.win 
 
------------------------------------------ 
RUNNING THE CLIENT AND SERVER APPLICATIONS 
------------------------------------------ 
 
On the server, enter: 
 
  server 
 
On the client, enter: 
 
  net start workstation 
  client 
 
Note:  The client and server applications can run on the same Microsoft  
Windows NT computer when you use different screen groups. If you run the  
client on the Microsoft MS-DOS and Windows computer, choose the Run 
command from the File menu in the Microsoft Windows 3.x Program Manager and  
enter client.exe. 
 
Several command line switches are available to change settings for the  
server program. For a listing of switches available from the server program,  
enter: 
 
  server -?
