Hi.  I am trying to write a program that will attempt to connect to an ADSM 
server and then disconnect.  The point is to determine if the server is up.  I 
have been looking at the online API documentation as well as the sample 
programs supplied.  I'm handicapped because I am not overly fluent in C.  I'm 
attempting this on AIX 4.1.5 with the version 3 ADSM client.  I would 
appreciate any help you can provide.  The following is the text of the program 
as well as the errors I'm receiving while attempting the
compile.

Thanks for your help!!
