NonStop DCE Components
NonStop DCE provides a fully compliant DCE product for the NonStop server. Support
for the OSF-defined protocols allows interoperability with DCE-compliant
implementations on systems from other manufacturers. Support for the OSF-specified
interfaces promotes application portability as well as portability of application
development skills and management skills.

These components provide:
•
The Application Development Environment described on page 1-2
