 Looks like a lot of work, Robert; thanks for your efforts.

Hmm, interesting. I wonder why this doesn't show up when I google for ndr
format strings.

thanks -mike

RPC Update Patch

2004-02-26 Thread Robert Shearman
Hi,

I have uploaded the big stubless RPC patch to a website as it is rather
large (~120k). You can get it here:

http://www.dcs.warwick.ac.uk/~csvmc/rpcrt4_3.diff

As you can probably see, a lot of the stuff in this patch is a bit rough
around the edges (lack of copyright notice in some files), but it does
seem to work for a lot of cases.

Rob

P.S. It doesn't work for native OLE32 yet because we need some
undocumented interfaces in RPCSS.
