We are developping an RPC/XDR based application, running on a 386 PC (client) talking with a server daemon on a Unix host (Convex). I use the PC-NFS toolkit (version 1.0) but it seems that this library is not Windows 3.0 compatible. When I use the callrpc() function in a normal DOS executable in a full-screen DOS window (exclusive mode), evering works fine. But when I call the same callrpc() function within my Windows3 application menu, the application exits. My question is: 1. Is there a way to put my Windows3 application in the same state as a full-screen DOS window (exclusive mode)? I don't want to create a DOS window for each RPC call. 2. How can I call WinExec() without getting a DOS window? 3. Is there a true Windows3.0 RPC/XDR library available? Please respond by e-mail, because our News expires faster than I can read :-) I'll summarize to the net. Thanks, Wim. ---------- Netherlands Energy Research Foundation, ECN -------------- Wim Rijnsburger email: RIJNSBURGER@ECN.NL P.O. Box 1, 1755 ZG Petten, Holland phone: +31 2246 4673

I don't want WR> to create a DOS window for each RPC call. You can't, but you can do a DOS interrupt from Windows. Just be sure your buffers for the RPC call area in low memory (below the 1Mb), and that you know the segment:offset of them. WR> 2. How can I call WinExec() without getting a DOS window?
