 # Mount RPC client -- RFC 1094 (NFS), Appendix A
 
 # This module demonstrates how to write your own RPC client in Python.
-# Since there is no RPC compiler for Python (yet), you must first
-# create classes derived from Packer and Unpacker to handle the data
-# types for the server you want to interface to.  You then write the
-# client class.  If you want to support both the TCP and the UDP
-# version of a protocol, use multiple inheritance as shown below.
