Distributing Applications Across DCE and Windows NT 
By Ward Rosenberry & Jim Teague 
302 pages, ISBN: 1-56592-047-3, $24.95 (US)

We will publish this book this week that tells what can you really 
accomplish with the compatibilities between Microsoft platforms and DCE.
It proves that applications can indeed cross platform boundaries, and 
shows how to do it. The book gives steps for writing a simple, portable 
application, and lists the complete differences between RPC support in 
the two environments. The programming examples share data processing 
across UNIX systems hosting DCE, workstations or PC's hosting Windows NT, 
and PC's hosting MS-DOS with or without 16-bit Windows.

The book also has material for decision-makers and site  administrators. 
Its first chapter discusses general industry problems  and compares the
distributed access offered by DCE/Microsoft RPC with  other common
solutions. Site administrators will benefit from another  chapter showing
how to set up configuration files to handle cross- environment
applications.

  Topics include:
   - Building Bridges.
   - Developing a Cross-Environment Application.
   - Writing Interface Definitions.
   - Administration.
   - Writing a Client.
   - Writing a Server. 
   - A Remodeling Handbook for Local Applications.
