[comp.unix.questions] Is there any RPC package for System V ?

cm36+@andrew.cmu.edu (C. V. R. Murthy) (04/05/88)

Hello,
        Thanks for replying my earlier query regarding streams on Unix System
V.
As I mentioned in that post, I am trying to port RPC package developed on BSD
Unix to the AT&T Unix System V.
I would like to know if such a package already exists, if so any references.
Thanks in advance,
Murthy (cm36@ANDREW.CMU.EDU)

NCS, Apollo's RPC system consisting of a interface compiler (stub
generator) and network message runtime library, runs on System V systems
(R2 or R3) that support the BSD socket interface.  (No other BSD extensions
are required.)  NCS also runs under BSD, VMS, and MS/DOS.

NCS was described in a paper in the Summer '87 Usenix.  NCS is available
(under license) to universities for cost-of-distribution.  Contact me
for more details.
