This appendix describes the contents of the Compaq COM demo CD-ROM. The CD-ROM contains a demo of a COM client and server warehouse application that runs on OpenVMS, Tru64 UNIX, and Windows NT systems.

The CD-ROM includes the following:

• Pre-built executable files for all three platforms.

  The pre-built version of the COM demo software consists of the executables and required files that demonstrate COM on OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX servers with Windows NT clients. This appendix describes how to install and deploy the files on your OpenVMS, Tru64 UNIX, and Windows NT systems.

  You need the COM run-time environment installed on your OpenVMS or Tru64 UNIX system to run the pre-built version of the demo. The COM run-time environment ships as part of the OpenVMS and Tru64 operating system. You do not need the COM developer kits for OpenVMS or Tru64 UNIX to run the pre-built demo files.

• Source files for all the demo software.

  The source code includes all the sources for the demo. You can use these sources to modify and rebuild the demo or you can use these files as templates when creating your own COM applications. This appendix describes how to build the sources.

  The source files are the same for both OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX. If you understand COM, enjoy reading code, or both, feel free to work with...
