Problem


Moving RPC-based Unix applications to Windows


Cause


A common mistake in migrating Unix clients to windows is omitting the initialization and cleanup routines needed for the Windows/WinSock environment.




Action


_rpc_init() and _xdr_makeprocs() must precede _open_transport(). In addition, _xdr_freeprocs() and _rpc_exit() must follow _close_transport().
