RPC and XDR used outside of Sun environment

[Mark Lawrence]

I've used them to implement an interface between a Sun running KEE and an
Alliant.  For the interface program on the Alliant, We used rpcgen on the
Sun to 'compile' the interface specification and then compiled the
resultant code on the Alliant.  Some of the XDR functions that rpcgen
called out were missing from the Alliant implementation.  We simply rolled
our own in those (rare) situations.  Gluing the the Sun c-code and
KEE/LISP code was interesting but doable.
