RS is not to be included and compiled with your project. Deployment model is very simillar to
that of Gdi+X project for instance. It is precompiled app, which you call once at run time to get it enabled.

You can place RS Server folder anywhere you like, for as long as that path will be visible and accesible to your exe
at run time. So If it is for inhouse app, then you simply 'drop it' inside your own exe (or data) folder and call it from there.

If your exe is to be distributed as installation package, then you just include RS Server folder as 'dead weight' to be copied along with
other files that you are distributing.

What you add to your project is couple of functions, subclass of RS engine and one dummy prg to avoid
compilation errors. See readme.txt in demo project.
