Demo/rpc/README

+This is a VERY preliminary release of my Python interface to Sun RPC.
+It consists of two library modules, xdr.py and rpc.py, and two example
+clients, mountclient.py and nfsclient.py, implementing the NFS Mount
+protocol and (part of) the NFS protocol, respectively.
+
+To test the nfs client, run it from the shell with something like this:
+
+  python -c 'import nfsclient; nfsclient.test()' hostname [filesystemname]
+
+When called without a filesystemname, it lists the filesystems at the
+host (default the local machine).
+
+For hostname, use e.g. wuarchive.wustl.edu or gatekeeper.dec.com (two
+hosts that are known to export NFS filesystems with little restrictions).
+
+Note: this was developed for Python 0.9.8beta (not yet released).  I
+have tried to put in compatibility hacks for Python 0.9.7beta
+(available from ftp.cwi.nl) but I cannot guarantee that it will work
+-- if it doesn't, let me know and I'll see what I can do.  In
+particular, if you don't have the built-in module "select", UDP
+time-outs and retries won't work.
