Description: The following notes are to be used with the timeout.c program.

Steps to run the program and generate a timeout error:

     (1) Open up a session of isql and begin a transaction, say:
		
	 begin tran
	 update pubs2..publishers set city = city
	 go

     (2) Run your program in another window. After 5 seconds, you will get a
	 timeout error from your program. 

	 You will be prompted to cancel the current command which has
	 caused the timeout and contine processing other commands in
	 the same connection as well as on other connections. OR to
	 continue to wait for another timeout period.

	 Note: Rolling back the transactions is preferable in case your 
	       update statement is different. We don't want to change the
	       sample tables.
