So apparently the teacher doesn't like winsock, says we must use RPC to do network communication on a Windows machine... seems that doing RPC-XML on Linux is easy enough, but I'm finding it nearly impossible to find RPC libraries that aren't 40 miles long...
Mind you, this is a beginners C programming class...
He was also earlier claiming that RPC allows you to do communication without ports... Seems impossible being as TCP/IP packets are constructed with port data...
Looking for a way to send and receive simple bits of text, had it working fine on Winsock, but says that because he used RPC "some time ago, but forgot how to do it" that we can do it.
Of course, I can't tell why he expects us to use RPC, it seems counter-productive to the problem, and it's something he can't even confirm exists for Windows.
