[comp.windows.x] RPC's

Are there Digital RPC's that match Sun RPC's?  Can anyone lead me to information
that will allow a Sun RPC program to be compiled on a vaxstation (unix)??

Sun RPC is freely available in source form from titan.rice.edu [128.42.1.30].
I have no idea how hard it is to port to VAX/Ultrix.

	Indeed, yes.  SunRPC has normally been distributed with a 4.3BSD VAX
as its reference platform.  Note, however, that DEC may want to convince you
to use DCE instead (once it's available on their machines).
