I am converting a local procedure to a remote procedure with RPC 3.9.  The
procedure reads a file and fills a three dimensional array with data
(among other things).  Before reading the data, the procedure reads in the
size of each dimension and allocates the required storage.  Given that I
do not know ahead of time how big the array is, is it possible to move the
array from a remote machine to the local machine with RPC 3.9?  I am a
beginner at using Sun's ONC so be kind.
