- It is an interesting part of the hnistory of X.400 that a defect
- report sometime around 1989 was adopted which in fact made the support
- of DDAs manadatory in the base stanadards. This has been slow to
- percolate to products. I am not sure whether all the rgional
- workshops have included this as manadatory by now or not. this is an
- interesting question.
-
- But, it is now clear in the base standards that the DDA is mandatory.
-
- UNISYS has historically (hysterically?) taken the position that the
- DDA is not required ansd should not be supported, apparently in the
- interests of improved interworking.
-
- UNISYS customers should gang up on them and get it fixed.
