   There are only one thing needs to be done to migrate the component
   implementation from the old runtime to the new runtime.
-
+  <br><br>
   Find all the component MPC files in your component implementation
   source directories and make the following changes.
 
+  for every project in your MPC files which inherites from any of
+  the following MPC template (base project): <code> ciao_client, ciao_component,
+  ciao_servant, ciao_server,</code> replace them with  <code> ciao_client_dnc,
+  ciao_component_dnc, ciao_servant_dnc, ciao_server_dnc</code>. Then
+  generate your makefile/solution/project files using either
+  <code>mwc.pl</code> or <code>mpc.pl</code> and build (rebuild) your
+  binaries.
