Build Notes
The server must be built before the client. This requirement
is specified in the component description file, bld.inf. SimpleServer.mmp is
listed before SimpleClient.mmp. Build activities relating
to particular .mmp files are carried out in the order
in which they are listed in the bld.inf file.
Class summary
This pair of examples shows a more complex use of the client server interface. The server can support multiple subsessions within a single session, represented by the code in ComplexServer***; ComplexClient*** is the corresponding client code.
