Premier Software provides the only true distributed computing middleware for
MPE. This technology is supported for MPE (all releases) and will work in
POSIX.

Please visit the following URL:

http://www.premiersoft.com/toolset/toolkit/leg.html.

Please don't be put off by what seems like a vendor "plugging" software. We
provide some extremely low entry licensing options - options which pale in
cost to writing home grown socket code.  The most unique features of our rpc
is the ability to pass any complex "C" structure (including nested linked
lists), and more to your needs we handle the translation from "C" to COBOL.

Our technology is used by many MPE shops to develop C/S, peer-2-peer, and
other real-time integration interfaces.

Cheers,

Jonathan van den Berg
