QUIPU, which is an implementation of X.500 from UCL, is distributed with the ISODE 5.0 package. For more information, I suggest you send a message to the 'isode' list. Wengyik

X.500 is a distributed directory system. Of course it has elements of a distributed database, but it has a lot of other things, too. Perhaps most important, it provides a framework for naming objects (people, applications, etc.) with which one might communicate via a large, multiply-administered network. X.500 addresses topics such as security (via use of certificates) but does not fully treat traditional aspects of databases such as access control. X.500 is described in a series of eight documents. They are available from: Omnicom 115 Park St., SE Vienna, Virginia 22180 703-281-1135 Regards, Debbie Deutsch
