RPCSRC 3.9 was based on SunOS 4.0 Beta code; the DES stuff was removed since it
hadn't been completely tested yet.

RPCSRC 4.0 does have Secure RPC included with it; however the DES encryption
routine was removed due to export restrictions.

Incidentally, I sent RPCSRC 4.0 to sun-spots for inclusion in its archives, but
this hasn't happened yet.  But you can find it sitting in the "incoming"
directory on titan.rice.edu if you have FTP access.  In that directory you'll
find:

    rpc_40.01 thru rpc_40.17            RPCSRC, less Secure RPC
    rpc_39-40.01 thru rpc_39-40.03      "patch" files to upgrade RPCSRC 3.9
                                        to RPCSRC 4.0, less Secure RPC
    secure_rpc.01 thru secure_rpc.04    Secure RPC, less DES code
