Hai everybody !  I'm a new comer to this discussion group.  I understand that
ISODE consists of a set of application-oriented layers implementations but
have no knowledge about details of this implementations. Could anyone tell
me more about it ? In particular, I would like to know the followings :

   1. the types/classes of services implemented in each layer ?
      In particular, the type(s) of sevices supported by session layer;
      the types of abstract syntaxes supported by presentation layer etc.
   2. what Service Elements have been included in the application layer ?
      In particular, if all functions of CASE (ASCE, CCR and ROSE) are
      included; what functional units have been selected in FTAM etc.
   3. what language(s) does the software(s) use ?
   4. what machine(s) was the original implementations developed on ?
   5. what machine(s) has the implementations been ported to
      successfully ?
      In particular, I would like to know if it has been ported to a
      PC based machine running the DOS or OS/2.
   6. how/from where can I get a copy of the source code and binary
      code of these implementations ?


Would appreciate very much if anyone who knows the answer
could send me a reply. Thanks !
