                ONC RPC Applications Toolkit 1.0

SunFLASH Vol 39 #22					          March 1992 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 	-- Enables developers to create client/server applications as
 	   easily as standalone applications

 	-- Shields application developers from having to understand
           the details of low-level network interfaces

 	-- Leads to successful distribution of applications over a
 	   network using RPC technology

        -- Incorporates transport independent RPC (TI-RPC), a Solaris 2.0
 	   technology, into Solaris 1.0, enabling developers to take
           advantage of Solaris 2.0 technology TODAY.

SunSoft announced ONC RPC Application Toolkit 1.0 at Uniform, January, 1992.
The Toolkit greatly simplifies the development of next-generation distributed
client server applications. This product will begin shipping from SMCC in
Q2 calendar year 1992.

Product Positioning:

	-- Easy-to-use toolkit for developing TI-RPC based
	   client/server applications.

	-- Designed specifically for C programmers;
	   all input is derived from standard C syntax.

	-- Reduces time and effort needed to develop
	   distributed applications.

	-- Includes TI-RPC fully supported on Solaris 1.0
	   systems, allowing applications to easily migrate
	   to Solaris 2.0.

	-- Transport independence means one application can
	   run over a variety of network transport mechanisms.
