   REQUIREMENTS
   ============

   Set up the COBOL and Java environments as described in Chapter 1
   of your Distributed Computing book.


   HOW TO COMPILE THIS DEMO
   ========================

   
   A script is provided that compiles all the programs. To invoke
   the script, enter:

     sh ./build.sh


   HOW TO RUN THIS DEMO
   ====================

   You can run the demo in graphical mode or in character mode.

 
   Graphical Mode
   ==============

   At the command line enter:

   cobjrun RecordDemoGui

   An application window appears. Pull down the Run menu and select an
   option. 

   When you have finished, select Exit on the File menu.

   
   Character Mode
   ==============
   
   At the command line enter:

   cobjrun RecordDemo


   WHAT THIS DEMO DOES
   ===================

   The demo creates a RecordData item which is passed to COBOL using the
   "setDetails" instance method. The Java program then display the
   updated object, demonstrating to you that the structure has been updated.
