RPC

  The Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service provides connections between 
  individual procedures in an application across heterogeneous systems 
  in a transparent way.  

              o  The process or daemon which maintains the local 
	         endpoint map for RPC servers and looks up endpoints 
		 for RPC clients is called DCE Daemon (DCED). It allows
                 client/server RPC applications to register their specific
                 endpoints.  Registering endpoints allows remote clients of
                 the application to find the server application's entry
                 point on the system.

		 The DCE daemon can be started or stopped with the 
		 command files DCE$RPC_STARTUP.COM and DCE$RPC_SHUTDOWN.COM,
		 which are located in SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR].

              o  The rpccp control program accesses DCE$RPCCP.EXE, the RPC
                 control program. RPCCP also supports showing the elements 
                 of the local endpoint map and removing elements from it.
