Whoa! Skip the XDR stuff all together and use simple in-line code.
The XDR appeared on the scene at the instance I was starting to
design the protocol. In retrospect, it is unnecessary overkill.
It will be faster and simpler without XDR.

I would make a subclass of DataInputStream and DataOutputStream
translate to/from 8 bit null terminated strings, and do everything
with inline readInt/writeInt, etc., calls.
