- The XDR library isn't public domain, but it should be
- on your system, since we support NFS, which uses RPC,
- which uses XDR (whew!). Anyway, if you want to use xdr
- you should include the <rpc/rpc.h> header file, and link
- with libsun.a (-lsun).
-
- There's some more info on using XDR in the IRIX Network Programming
- Guide: Chapter 1, "Network Programming Overview," and Chapter 8, "XDR
- Programming Notes."
-
- Good luck!
