I need some information about the DCE standard from the OSF.
1.: what are the current platforms which support DCE
2.: where can I get a copy and a licence for the "OSF DCE Executive" 
    and what is contained in this package ?
3.: what are the differences between the full source license and
    the license with limited rights for distribution ?

Thanks in advance,
Thomas

The DCE reference platforms are AIX and OSF/1.  Companies (to my
knowledge) that have announced DCE as part of their strategy include

	- IBM
	- HP
	- DEC
	- SNI (in Germany)
	- NEC
	- Stratus
	- Sun (via Transarc Corp.)

There are others as well, I just don't recall them right now.  The OSF
could give you a more complete list (see below).

While (again) there may be others, license arangements I know of are:

	1) Transarc Corporation (USA 412-338-4400) -- sells a Developer's Kit
	   for Sparc's running SunOS 4.1.2 and RS/6000's running AIX 3.2.
	   We offer 10 client and 1 server licenses, plus full documentation
	   and a DCE training class for $15,000.

	2) DEC used to offer a Developer's Kit for Ultrix 4.2,
	   although I'm not sure if its still fully supported.
	   It went for around $5000 or $6000 -- not sure of the
	   license agreements or exact price.  They have announced
	   full DCE support for both OSF/1 and Ultrix, not sure if
	   they have offered any dates.

	3) I think both IBM and HP may have an early program available,
	   but I can't offer any details.  Contact them for more info.
