These routines are still included in the appropriate /sys/ins files, but are
marked'obsolete', as are the name_$pname_t and name_$name_t data types.
HOWEVER, some system calls still use these data types.  Yes, HP/apollo is
aware of this (I filed an APR this week, when I finally was able to move some
sr9.7 code to sr10, and discovered the problem), BUT they haven't promised
that it will be mended in the next release. I guess we'll wait and see.
