Meanwhile the Foundation has announced the availability of Distributed Computing Environment developers’ kits, available for licensing from Open Software Foundation members and non-members. The kit, costing $5,000 for the source code and a further $2,000 for support, consists of an integrated set of tools and services for developing and using distributed applications, including remote procedure call, local directory (naming) services, time services and threads for concurrent programming. Applications developed with the kit will run with Release 1.0 of the DCE, which is due for release in mid-1991.
