XDR routines for R, gnuwin32 version
====================================

R can make use of XDR to read/write binary dumps in a
machine-independent format. This directory was put together by Brian
Ripley <ripley@stats.ox.ac.uk> from the version of the sunrpc
distribution put together for ONC RPC 1.10 for Windows NT by Martin
F. Gergeleit. This is no longer available directly, but is part of the
NISGINA distribution <www.dcs.qmw.ac.uk/~williams>.  Only that part of
XDR used by R is included.

For copyright see the Sun copyright in COPYRGHT.TXT and the header
of rpc.c.

The only changes I made were

(a) to comment out definitions in rpc/types.h that are duplicates of
those in Windows/Sockets.h

(b) to define ntohl and htonl via assembler code at the head of 
rpc_stdio.c. This will need to be altered for any other little-endian
system; generic code for 32-bit systems is provided.

(c) to report errors directly rather than to NT services.
