Someone called me about this the other day.  Let me clear the air.  The PEX
sample implemention is not yet avaliable, and is will not be publically
avaliable until at least early next year.  This means that there is NO PEX code
on the R4 tape.

The current draft of the PEX specification is avaliable on the tape in
doc/extensions/PEX.
