They are library functions for Sun RPC. If you aren't using Sun RPC,
you can simply delete the code that uses svc_fdset() and
svc_getreqset(). If Xview3 requires Sun RPC, this is not the case
though. In that case you can grab rpcsrc-4.0 from some anonymous ftp
server...

I've ever heard Xview lacks portability; is Xview3 improved in this
respect?
