This directory contains the ACE network service implementations and
sample driver programs for dynamically configuring them into client
and server processes.  The subdirectories include the following:

  . lib -- contains implementations of the ACE network services.
    These services include a logging service, a name service,
    a distributed locking service, and a distributed time service.
    These can be built as shared libraries (i.e., DLLs), which
    are then linked into applications either statically or
    dynamically.

  . servers -- contains the driver program that links the various
    services together, either statically or dynamically, to
    form complete server programs.

  . clients -- contains a number of test programs that illustrate
    how to write clients for the various ACE network services.

Please see the ACE-netsvcs.html file for an overview of the various
services.
