# making the rmi).

#               ./torunask <Read/Write>

#      where Write ==> start a writer process

#   java askRemote <(remote) hostname> <Read/Write>
#   where <(remote) hostname> is the name or IP of the computer where
#   the remoteObject is registered, and <Read/Write> is the parameter
#   indicating reader/writer process
#

#        remoteClass_Stub.class (class stub on pre-1.5 jre)
