In general the users of personal computers are unable to call library routines as available on mainframes from their application programs. Therefore it is necessary to integrate the personal computers into a heterogeneous network with mainframes and to make communication software available to the users of personal computers. This software has to provide a transparent interface, thus allowing conveniently the remote execution of library routines. The subject of this paper is how to design such software for a distributed system.
