	Let's be precise here. C2 is not "part of the government". It is
a certified (or certifiable) level of security, which many systems must
now meet to qualify for government use. Of course, many in the commercial
sector require that level of security, or higher.

	Apropos this thread, ISC offers their own family of integrated
UN*X components and applications (the Architech series). UNIX Today! ran
a comparison of Dell's 3.2 and SCO's ODT some months back. (Can't give an
issue date without searching, since UT! doesn't index.)
