- Hi,
-
- we are in the process of implementing a client-server application using
- OS/2 1.3 at the moment, but we will move to OS/2 2.x soon. The server
- is supposed to be running on a OS/2 machine with several OS/2, DOS/Windows
- and Unix clients accessing the server functions via RPC.
-
- Has anybody done something like that before and can recommend books/articles
- on RPC programming in a mixed environment ? Is the mixed environment
- idea feasible in the first place ?
-
- What kind of RPC libraries are available for OS/2 1.3 and OS/2 2.0 ? On
- which communication protocols is the RPC mechanism based ? TCP/IP ?
-
- If it is TCP/IP, would it still be possible to connect the OS/2 server to
- a Netware network which uses IPX/SPX as the underlying protocol ?
-
-
- Thanks for any info, Ernst.
