I wasn't trying to compare sunrpc with ncs, my point was
that if I have a pc running some type of NFS and I wanted to
hook that to the apollo I would get NFS for the apollos. I'd
expect the NFS product to include the rpc library, or at
least be able to get it thru apollo. I was told that this is
not the case. You have to get the code from elsewhere. The
rpc library is needed to build the pcnfsd daemon on the
apollo.
