To use the Client/Server Binding in your application, you need to:
- Create a configuration(.cfg) file to control the behaviour of the mfclient and mfserver modules and the communications connection. The configuration file is an ASCII text file containing parameters allowing you to specify key information such as:
- which communications protocol to use
- the name of the user program to be called by mfserver
- Add code to your client program to call the mfclient module.
- Add code to your server program to enable it to be called by the mfserver module.
Each of these steps is explained in more detail below.
