Some days ago I got the following email from India, with a request for certain public domain networking software: > Sun's RPC and NFS Sources from public domain. We are > buying a 386-based Micro running Unix System V Rel.3.2 > from Interactive Systems Corpn. It supports NFS based on > TCP/IP. I heard this NFS is available for PCs running > DOS also. And further, it seems to be > machine hardware and transport software independent. > So we plan to have it working in an OSI Environment. > > Could you spare some time in loading this vital piece > of software ( both Unix and DOS versions) please ? I don't know much about networking software, so please excuse my ignorance. What exactly does this person want, and from where can I ftp the corresponding files? Can I get source for both Unix and DOS versions? I would be VERY grateful for any information. Please email me at: raja@frith.egr.msu.edu OR raja%frith.egr.msu.edu@uunet.uu.net Thanks in advance, Narayan Sriranga Raja. ________ ________ __ __ ________ | | | | (/ \/ ) | | | | | | / | | | | | | / | | | | | | / | | | | | | _/ __ | | (Raja) | | | | (__/ \) | | /

RPCSRC 4.0 is the freely licensed implementation of Sun's RPC library for BSD unix. No freely licensed DOS implementation of the RPC library exists, though PC-NFS Toolkit *is* available and has a binary RPC library. As for NFS, there are a few PD implementation, though their quality is not assured. One for DOS is called "sos", and it is located on the same archive machine as RPCSRC. Sun does not make any NFS implementation available in the public domain, though you can buy a license. Here's the instructions for getting RPCSRC: Sun's freely licensed RPC/XDR implementation, RPCSRC 4.0, is now available via anonymous ftp from bcm.tmc.edu and from the archive-server@bcm.tmc.edu. If you use the archive server, send mail to archive-server@bcm.tmc.edu with a Subject of "send nfs index" to see all the names of the files. Sending a message with the Subject "help" will return to you more information about the archive server itself. To use anonymous FTP, use the ftp program to connect to bcm.tmc.edu. When prompted for a user name, enter "anonymous". When prompted for a password, enter your user ID (such as "joeuser@sun.com"). Then change directories (cd) to the "nfs" directory, where you will find the RPCSRC files. There are 17 shar files in the main library and 4 shar files for secure rpc.
