Has anyone heard of or used this product? EZ-RPC.  I am tring to chose 
tools to get me to 3-tier, this sounded cool to me.  Is it believable? 
Supposably EZ RPC is a rapid prototyping compiler (code generator), 
allows ordinary application and drag-and-drop programmers, who do not 
have any communications programming expertise, to build sophisticated, 
three-tier, client-server applications.  The product is based on and 
extends  Open Network Computing (ONC) Remote Procedure Call (RPC) 
technology and External Data Representation (XDR).

They claim that for procedure-oriented programmers, EZ-RPC suite of 
Software Development Kits (SDK),  let application programmers quickly tie 
clients on any combination of 40 platforms to servers on any  combination 
of 40 platforms, including: Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Macintosh, OS/2, NT, 
UNIX and VAX. The Application Programming Interface, or API, of any 
module can be "remoted" or distributed with no change whatsoever to the 
existing code.  For Windows developers, EZ-RPC creates a Windows DLL that 
contains the complete API of the subsystem.  This means that any Windows 
based developer can  use a "GUI" tool to access a server subsystem as if 
it were local to the PC.  Any module or subsystem  written in C and 
currently running on a Windows, or other supported client, can be 
converted into a "network service" running on a UNIX server, with no 
change to the API or code. EZ-RPC is a next generation RPC SDK with 
extended features that allow application programmers with little or no 
network programming experience to build 3-tier, client-server 
applications.   Also experienced network programmers will enjoy 
substantial productivity gains (as much as 90%) over programming directly 
to sockets or with a first generation tool.

Does anyone have any comments on this product that they can share???

Thanx--

Carlo
