RPC is Remote Procedure Call, a way of calling functions from one computer so that they execute on another. I think the most popular implementation is from the Distributed Computing Environment, DCE.

Don't know much more than that, I'm afraid. ============================================================================== Rich Dawe - 3rd year Physicist @ Bristol Uni, UK E-mail: rd5718 AT bristol DOT ac DOT uk Web pages: http://irix.bris.ac.uk/~rd5718/ ==============================================================================
