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 zip file in this directory.  Each zip 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).

The files and corresponding examples are:

arith.zip		The arithmetic application, Appendix C.

                        This application provides a very simple, basic
                        example of RPC programming for the

                        This application offers a number of examples
                        that form the basis for discussions of various

                        Chapters 2 through 4.

ms_rpc.zip		All four examples contained in the other
			files.

rfile.zip		The remote file application, Appendix E.

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

			A simple example of using Microsoft RPC with a
