[comp.unix.questions] Opinions wanted on rpcgen

de@cs.glasgow.ac.uk (David England) (12/06/90)

I've come across rpcgen on serveral UNIX boxes recently but have been told
third hand that its not really usable. Does anyone have first hand reports
to relate on rpcgen before I ask my students to use it?

[For those who don't know rpcgen is a protocol compiler that supposedly
hides some of the nasty details of remote procedure calls from the
application programmer].

Please reply by e-mail - I'll summarise if necessary.
