ONC RPC for Windows NT


ONC RPC for Windows NT is a port of ONC RPC 4.0 (formerly called SUN-RPC) to Windows NT. It also runs on Windows95, while it was only tested with Windows NT 3.51 and NT 4.0.

General information about ONC RPC

General information about ONC RPC and the related XDR data encoding standard can be found in the RFCs 1831 (ONC RPC) and 1832 (XDR). You might also have a look in the book "Power Programming with RPC". There is also a small tutorial on SUNRPC out there. For a comparison of different RPC implementations (including ONC RPC) see John Barkley: Comparing Remote Procedure Calls. The sources of the original ONC RPC 4.0 can be downloaded e.g. from ftp://decuac.dec.com/pub/sources/rpc4.0-ultrix.tar.Z.

Feedback, questions, and discussions

If you have any question, comments, fixes or if you are just using it please send a mail to gergeleit@gmd.de. I would like to learn more about the applications that you are building using this port.

In addition, I have now set up a FAQ page. I will put any question, user experience or hint from you that might help other users on that page.
