To Compile:

1.a. Copy the folder "client" to the machine where you want to run client.

  b. Go to the folder "client" and run the command

     % javac *.java

2.a. Copy the folder "server" to the machine where you want to run the server.

  b. Go to the folder "server" and run the command

     % javac *.java

To Run the program:

1.On server machine

  a. Open a window to start rmiregistry

     % rmiregistry 3000

  b. Go to the folder "server" 

  c. Start the Server on another window

java ConversionServer 

2.a  Go to the folder "client" in client machine

  b. Start the client using the command

        java ConversionClient
