Given the widespread availability of RPC technology in the UNIX world, I am wondering why haven't more vendors offered commercial applications that make use of the RPC technology? What are the technical or business issues that keep process modeling or simulation or other mathematically intensive applications from making use of the power of a number of machines on the network? Note that I am talking about applications that vendors write and resell to end-users and not about homegrown applications. Thanks, Will Estes (sun!portal!cup.portal.com!Will)
