[Quickfix-developers] Little intro Help with Quick Fix Engine :(

[Hayyan R. <hay...@ho...>]

So I downloaded the Quick Fix Source "quickfix-1.13.3" , I have sucessfuly built the visual studio 2010
I actually just started looking up at the fix protocol and initially what i want is 
a sender (A client) which could trigger and send an order in a Fix Format to a Receiver(Server) 
which could acknowledge the order informing the client whether the order was succesful or not.
I was told that the fix engine is what i wanted. 

However while going over the "Testing QuickFix". I came across the following lines
"Two executable files are built that allow you to run tests. They are ut(.exe) and at_server(.exe). Running the ut 
executable will run all the defined unit tests against the quickfix library. The at_server executable is an 
implementation of a FIX server application that simply echoes NewOrderSingle messages back to the client. It also 
ensures a ClOrdID is not reused. It has just enough functionality to test the application-level behavior of our 
implementation.The output of the unit test runner is represented by a period if the test passes or a letter 'F' if 
it fails. Failed tests will also display information regarding the failure. This will usually be a test name, file 
name, and line number." 

The only exe files i got after building the project were
 D:\quickfix-1.13.3\quickfix\bin\debug\executor_cpp\executor_cpp.exe
 D:\quickfix-1.13.3\quickfix\bin\debug\executor_csharp\executor_csharp.exe
 D:\quickfix-1.13.3\quickfix\bin\debug\executor_vbne\executor_vbnet.exe
 D:\quickfix-1.13.3\quickfix\bin\debug\ordermatch\ordermatch.exe

 D:\quickfix-1.13.3\quickfix\src\obj\Debug\pt_net.exe
 D:\quickfix-1.13.3\quickfix\test\debug\at\at.exe          
 D:\quickfix-1.13.3\quickfix\test\debug\at\atrun.exe  
 D:\quickfix-1.13.3\quickfix\test\debug\at\at_net.exe 
 D:\quickfix-1.13.3\quickfix\test\debug\pt\pt.exe
