This directory contains four examples from "Microsoft RPC Programming
Guide" by John Shirley and Ward Rosenberry, published by O'Reilly &
Associates, Inc.

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:

* The .idl interface definition, and a .acf file if one if needed.

* Other .c and .h source files.

* A Makefile.

* Additional support files for the Windows example (phnbk).

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:

arith.dec94.tar.Z	The arithmetic application, Appendix C.

                        This application provides a very simple, basic
                        example of RPC programming for the
                        introductory discussion in Chapter 1.

inv.dec94.tar.Z		The inventory application, Appendix D.

                        This application offers a number of examples
                        that form the basis for discussions of various
                        topics throughout the book, particularly in
                        Chapters 2 through 4.

rfile.dec94.tar.Z	The remote_file application, Appendix E.

                        This application forms the basis for the
                        discussion of context handles in Chapter 7.

phnbk.dec94.tar.Z	The phonebook application, Appendix F.

			A simple example of using Microsoft RPC with a
			Windows-based client.
