I received the following blurb from a colleague. Any interest or
experience with DCE-IDL ?
Richard - has any discussion of DCE's IDL (used for DCE RPC-s) taken
place? From what I've seen, it appears that this is a superset of XDR,
and OSF has released a PD version of some of their sources, which includes
the IDL compiler and RPC interface. I've not actually had any experience
using this PD version, but I have it available if you want to experiment
with it. Since DCE seems to be proliferating, it may be that the MPI
group may be able to leverage off of work that's already been done and is
freely available.
