I'm rather a novice at this remote procedure call stuff (Sun RPC variety),
and am looking for reference material.

The documentation which comes from our vendor(s) covers the basics well
enough to get some simple-minded applications going, but I'd like to
streamline them a bit.  For example, where I'm currently returning fixed-size
arrays back to the client, I'd rather return a variable-length array,
with variable length strings in it.  The docs I have don't get into this
sort of thing, nor into the mysteries of passing lists & trees (pointers)
between server and client.

The bookstores around here don't have any titles on the subject, so I'm
looking for some pointers to reading material from you old pros
(emphasis on "pro", not "old").
