------------------------------------------- 
BUILDING CLIENT AND SERVER APPLICATIONS FOR 
MICROSOFT WINDOWS NT OR WINDOWS 95 
------------------------------------------- 
 
The following environment variables should already be 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 rpcssmc.exe (client) and  
rpcssms.exe (server).

BUILDING THE CLIENT APPLICATION FOR MS-DOS 
------------------------------------------ 
 
This sample does not currently support a DOS build. 
 
------------------------------------------ 
RUNNING THE CLIENT AND SERVER APPLICATIONS 
------------------------------------------ 
 
On the server, enter: 
 
  rpcssms 
 
On the client, enter: 
 
  net start workstation 
  rpcssmc 
 
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: 
 
  rpcssmc -? 
 
For a listing of switches available from the server program, enter: 
 
  rpcssms -? 
 
--------------------- 
RUNNING ON WINDOWS 95 
--------------------- 
 
If you wish to run the server on Windows 95, you will need to use 
the LRPC protocol. 
 
To start the server, enter: 
 
 rpcssms -p ncalrpc 
 
To start the client (from the same machine), enter: 
 
 rpcssmc -p ncalrpc
