Has anybody implemented SUNRPC/XDR for LISP?

It seems like a really easy task, just very repetitive after
getting the groundwork done.

Thanks in advance,

International Lisp Associates did an NFS port to the Symbolics some time ago.
I got a copy in order to be able to use the underlying RPC/XDR stuff for some
distributed applications between Sun and Symbolics. The neetest part was a
macro DEFRPC that did much of what the Sun RPC compiler does.

I understand that Symbolics has acquired the ILA NFS stuff for integration
into Genera 7.2(?). Does anyone know what the current availability from Symbolics
is like?
