CRB@NIHCUDEC.BITNET.UUCP (12/30/86)
The books specifying the TCP/IP and related protocols have been described as
having titles like RFC 791, etc. Are these titles exact, or how should these
books be titled to make sense to our purchasing people? And the publisher:
should SRI be referred to as Stanford Research Institute, and should the
name of the DDN be spelled out? Sorry to sound stupid, but better to get
too many questions answered than too few. Thanks for the help.

It is short for SRI International. SRI was spun-off from Stanford more than 15 years ago and one of the conditions of the spin-off is that SRI can't use Stanford in its name. -andy -- Andy Freeman UUCP: ...!decwrl!shasta!andy forwards to ARPA: andy@sushi.stanford.edu (415) 329-1718/723-3088 home/cubicle
