1.  Domain/OS was not modified to support DSEE.  DSEE does, however, take 
    advantage of existing non-standard facilities in Domain/OS.  

2.  Domain/OS *is* a UNIX operating system (passes SVVS, for example).

3.  DSEE *will* be available on non-Domain/OS operating systems.  It's not
    clear yet which OSs we will support, but it will certainly be available
    on HP's OSF offering.
