SANKHYA Varadhi: Development Notes for using SANKHYA Varadhi for Nucleus
========================================================================

   SANKHYA Varadhi has been ported to Nucleus MNT environment. Nucleus MNT
   is the Nucleus PLUS kernel for prototyping on Windows. Applications can be
   developed using SANKHYA Varadhi for Nucleus using MS VC++ for Nucleus MNT
   environment. SANKHYA Varadhi uses Nucleus NET, Nucleus C++ for MNT,
   Nucleus NET for MNT and Nucleus FAL components.

   Refer to Nucleus documents for setting up the Nucleus MNT environment
   and MS VC++ documents for setting up VC++ environment.


Pre-requisites

   Nucleus development environment should be setup before using SANKHYA
   Varadhi. Refer to Nucleus documents for setting up Nucleus environment.

     a. Nucleus MNT

        Host      : x86 PC
        Host OS   : Windows NT 4.0
        Target    : x86
        Target OS : Nucleus MNT 
                    (Nucleus PLUS 1.13.11
                     Nucleus NET 4.5.7
                     Nucleus FAL 1.7.5
                     Nucleus C++ BASE 2.3.3
                     Nucleus C++ PLUS 2.3.3
                     Nucleus C++ NET 2.3.2)
        Tools     : Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0


Using Varadhi for Nucleus

   SANKHYA Varadhi is ported to work on Nucleus MNT. Varadhi uses Nucleus
   NET TCP/IP stack as the transport layer. 

   Developing an application using SANKHYA Varadhi for Nucleus MNT involves
   the following steps.

     a) Write Nucleus MNT application initialization code as specified in the
        following Nucleus MNT manuals.

          - Nucleus MNT Reference Manual
          - Nucleus NET Reference Manual
          - Nucleus C++ BASE Reference Manual

     b) Write the main Varadhi application

     c) Build the main Varadhi application modules

     d) Build and link the initialization module with the application modules.

   A default Nucleus MNT application initialization code (varadhi_app_init.cc)
   for Varadhi applications is provided under $VARADHI/samples/nucleus/common
   directory ( %VARADHI%\samples\nucleus\common on Windows host ). This file
   can be included in the build of Varadhi application for Nucleus MNT
   instead of writing the application initialization code mentioned in
   step (a) above. All the Varadhi for Nucleus sample applications use this
   varadhi_app_init.cc for application initialization. The makefile provided
   along with the samples, compiles and links this file to the sample
   application.

   Refer to the main samples README for Nucleus in $VARADHI/samples/nucleus 
   directory ( %VARADHI%\samples\nucleus on Windows host ) to setup Varadhi 
   Target Platform, to build and execute the demo.

   Varadhi for Nucleus has been tested on Nucleus MNT on Windows NT 4.0.
