Examples
2-1	Objects-Defined Sample
4-1	The user issues the following commands on the server application where RTR is running on the backend.
4-2	When the next command is issued, RTR waits for the message from the client, which does not appear until after the client sends it (Example 4-3).
4-3	Commands and system response at client.
4-4	The following lines arrive at the client from RTR after the user enters commands at the server.
4-5	Creating a Facility with the C++ API
4-6	Starting RTR with the C++ API
4-7	Creating a Facility with the C++ API
4-8	Creating a Partition with the C++ API
