Simple Resource Manager Sample
==============================

This sample demonstrates how to build a simple resource manager using the Distributed Transaction 
Coordinator (DTC) interfaces. The sample also shows how to marshal a propagation token to pass
the transaction information from one application to another.

The sample implements a resource manager class and a client. The client creates a transaction and 
asks the resource manager to do work as part of the transaction. The client passes a transaction propagation
token to the resource manager to pass the transaction over.



Requirements
