Hi! Net Users,

I am looking for an RPC++ system where one can program in C++.  I
believe there are some files (classes) available on net.  I downloaded
them but am interested to know if there has been any standard developed
or whether it is in process.

Am I right by saying that there is no RPCGEN for RPC++.  If so, I would
like to know how would one get around this problem.  I am on the verge
of doing a masters project and would like to use RPC++.

I am still researching into this topic but I thought the NET is always
a better place to enquire since many of you are in touch with what's
going on.

Thanks a lot for you patience in typing a reply,

Eman

(From the docs) The author didn't like RPCGEN (that gives you type-safety)
so didn't write a RPCGEN++.

In short he uses void* to get around the problem, but I don't think this
is really a problem at all.
