PC-NFS toolkit question

We are developping an RPC/XDR based application, running on a 386 PC (client)
talking with a server daemon on a Unix host (Convex). I use the PC-NFS toolkit (version 1.0) but it seems that this library is not Windows 3.0 compatible. When I use the callrpc() function in a normal DOS executable in a full-screen DOS window (exclusive mode), evering works fine. But when I call the same callrpc() function within my Windows3 application menu, the application exits.

My question is:
	1. Is there a way to put my Windows3 application in the same state
	   as a full-screen DOS window (exclusive mode)? I don't want
	   to create a DOS window for each RPC call.
	2. How can I call WinExec() without getting a DOS window?
	3. Is there a true Windows3.0 RPC/XDR library available?

Please respond by e-mail, because our News expires faster than I can read :-)
I'll summarize to the net.

Thanks,

Wim.
