- DECnsr is *not* a DEC-developed product. It is simply Legato's Networker
- marketed thru DEC. I don't know how much actual development DEC is
- putting into it, but I am told that DECnsr componants and Networker
- componants interact. This explains why Sun RPC instead of DCE and why
- it's not under CSLG.

- Version 2.0 (which is version 3.0 of Networker) has a Motif interface.
