  This is true.  I have never seen the sources for this stuff (I use Suns
  at work), but I've been told you can get it.  I have used XDR quite a bit,
  and it's a pretty neat package.

  (Nice way to get everyone to accept your software as "Standard" -- give
  it away.  I've even used XDR on the IBM RS (RISC) computers, and the
  header files are straight from Sun.)
