- Here are two messages. The first tells how to get RPCSRC 4.0 (the old
- transport-specific UDP/TCP interfaces), while the second talks about TIRPCSRC
- 1.0 (the flavor of RPC that's in SVR4 and Solaris 2.x).

- RPCSRC 4.0:
-
- Sun's freely licensed RPC/XDR implementation, RPCSRC 4.0, is now
- available via anonymous ftp from bcm.tmc.edu and by email 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.
-
- (RPCSRC 4.0 is also available from the sun-spots archive; use titan.rice.edu
- for FTP and archive-server@rice.edu for email.)
-
-
- TIRPCSRC 1.0:
-
- Sun's freely licensed implementation of Transport Independent RPC
- (TIRPC), is now available as source code via anonymous ftp from
- ftp.uu.net in the directory "networking/rpc" as the file named
- tirpcsrc.tar.Z. This is a compressed tar file. This implementation of
- TIRPC is compatible with SunOS 4.1 *only*, and requires root
- priviledges for installation.
-
- TIRPC is the version of Sun RPC that is part of System V Release 4
- (SVR4). See the "README" file in the distribution, as well as the
- files in the doc and man directories, for further information.
-
- To use anonymous FTP, use the ftp program to connect to ftp.uu.net.
- 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 "networking/rpc" directory, where you will find
- tirpcsrc.tar.Z.
-
- Also, TIRPC can be obtained on 1/4-inch tape from Sun for a $100 media
- fee. The tape also includes Sun's older sockets-based RPC (RPC Source
- 4.0) as well as a Beta version of TIRPC Source from SunSoft's upcoming
- Solaris 2.0 (SVR4). Send a check payable to SunSoft, Inc. to:
