- The answer to your two last questions is ~YES. However, you should join
- the two newsgroups comp.unix.osf.misc and comp.unix.osf.osf1 if you
- are interested in OSF technologies. Btw, there is an ongoing discussion
- there now on the future of DCE.
-
- I think OSF is an truly open organization. They publish a lot of
- documentation, booklets, white papers and the quarterly newsletter
- "OPEN LINE". Maybe I'm wrong, but I *think* you can get most of this
- free of charge, at least the newsletter and white papers.
-
- You could try to send an email to Joel Richman (joel@osf.org), the
- editor of OPEN LINE and ask for a subscription. Good luck!
