The "Run And Announce MONitor" (RANMON) system uses mailslots.
The user runs a program on any machine using the "ran" program.
On another machine the same user runs the monitor program (ranmon).
When the "ran" program completes it sends a mailslot packet
on the network that all copies of ranmon receive. The ranmon
program announces completion with a message box.

You must be logged in under the same account name on both machines
for this version of ranmon to work properly. It is easy to
change this behavior, as described in the book.

Use MAKEFILE to compile the program with the SDK. Use RAN.MAK
and RANMON.MAK and compile the two programs separately if you
are using Visual C++. RAN is a console application, while RANMON
is an application.
