Symptoms:
        PHNE_4902:
        Generated code will not compile with ANSI compilers.
        Servers cannot be kicked off by inetd.

Defect Description:
        PHNE_4902:
        Rpcgen was not originally designed for these capabilities,
        which are added in this patch:

        This patch allows rpc servers to be created by rpcgen that
        can automatically be inetd-compatible. The patch adds
        options:

         -I (inetd support).

         -K <num> (how long an inetd-spawned server should stay
            alive after no more clients).

         -L (log error messages to syslog) to the command line
            interface of rpcgen.  The behavior is similar to
            Sun's rpcgen.

        This patch also adds support for ANSI C, allowing
        rpcgen-generated code to be fully ANSI compliant,
        specifically, removing labels from #else and #endif.
        However, to compile generated code with an ANSI compiler
        (for example, "cc -Aa"), the define -D_HPUX_SOURCE must
        be included in the compile path.

        4. Use the cursor keys to select "Change Source or
           Destination ->" and press [Return].

        5. Select "From Tape Device to Local System ..."
           in the Change window and

        6. Change "Source: /dev/rmt/0m" to
           "Source: /tmp/PHNE_4902.updt"
