RPCSRC 4.0 is the freely licensed implementation of Sun's RPC
library for BSD unix.  No freely licensed DOS implementation of the
RPC library exists, though PC-NFS Toolkit *is* available and has
a binary RPC library.

As for NFS, there are a few PD implementation, though their
quality is not assured.  One for DOS is called "sos", and
it is located on the same archive machine as RPCSRC.  Sun does
not make any NFS implementation available in the public domain, though
you can buy a license.

Here's the instructions for getting RPCSRC:

  Sun's freely licensed RPC/XDR implementation, RPCSRC 4.0, is now
  available via anonymous ftp from bcm.tmc.edu and 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.
