SUMMARY

Regrgs.exe is a sample that can be used to register information stored in a registrar script file (RGS). RGS files are created by the ATL wizards. This sample might be useful in the case of DCOM. You can register the server on the client machine even though the DLL/EXE resides on a different machine.
