- CALLBACK
-
-
- The CALLBACK program demonstrates the use of the callback attribute to
- allow a server application to execute code on a client application. The
- distributed program generates a Fibonacci number with a static callback.
-
- The directory samples\rpc\callback contains the following files for
- building the sample distributed application CALLBACK:
-
- File Description
-
- README.TXT Readme file for the CALLBACK sample
- CALL.IDL Interface definition language file
- CALL.ACF Application configuration file
- CALLC.C Client main program
- CALLS.C Server main program
- CALLP.C Remote procedures
- MAKEFILE Nmake file to build for Windows NT or Windows 95
- MAKEFILE.DOS Nmake file to build for MS-DOS
-
- -------------------------------------------
- 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 callc.exe (client) and calls.exe
- (server).
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- BUILDING THE CLIENT APPLICATION FOR MS-DOS
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 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.dos cleanall
- nmake -f makefile.dos
-
- This builds the client application callc.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.dos hello.h
-
- Step Two: Compile the C sources (stub and application) under MS-DOS:
-
- nmake -f makefile.dos
-
-

- RUNNING THE CLIENT AND SERVER APPLICATIONS
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- On the server, enter:
-
- calls
-
- On the client, enter:
-
- net start workstation
- callc
-
- 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:
-
- callc -?
-
- For a listing of switches available from the server program, enter:
-
- calls -?
