I have been follwoing the debate here and in UNIX Today! between OSF/DCE/NCS
and SUN/Netwise/ONC folk. In the August 20 issue of UNIX Today! reference
is made by Richard Mackey of OSF to "the upcoming ISO/OSI RPC protocol."
My ignorance may be showing, but what is he talking about? Is there a name
for this service (e.g. ROSE, CMISE) and a standards number? What is the status
of the standard? I know about ROSE (Remote Operations Service Element), but
this is not what is being referenced is it? It's already in International
Standards status....I think.

Perhaps Mr. Mishkin could explan.....or, Mr. Earnhardt.

BTW - I have enjoyed the debate immensely. Thanks for all the interesting 
viewpoints. Keep it up if there's more that needs to be said.
