This directory contains a header file and three examples from
"Distributing Applications Across DCE and Windows NT" by Ward
Rosenberry and Jim Teague, published by O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.

The header file is dceport.h, from Appendix E of the book.

Each of the examples appears in a separate appendix in the book, and
in a compressed tar .Z file in this directory.  Each .Z file contains
all the source code and configuration information required for
building its example, including:

* A READ.ME file listing the contents of the other files

* The .idl interface definition and a .acf file.

* Other .c and .h source files.

* Files used by Windows programs, if Windows is supported by the
  application.

* Makefiles for various platforms.

When you run a tar command to extract files, it creates a subdirectory that
holds all the files pertaining to the example.

The files and corresponding examples are:

phnbk.tar.Z           The simple phonebook application, Appendix B.

                      This application provides a very simple, basic
                      example of RPC programming for the introductory
                      discussion in Chapter 2.

phnbk2.tar.Z          The complete phonebook application, Appendix C.

                      This application builds on the previous one by
                      adding the use of CDS and support for multiple
                      clients through context handles.

search.tar.Z          The searchit application, Appendix D.

                      This application shows how to use customized
                      binding handles and some other useful features.
