Yes, that is incorrect.  These may or may not work.  Introl may or may not
know.  Or it might depend on the system.  I do not know what our relation-
ship with Introl is, either.  I do know that no one in SGI's engineering org-
anization has worked on this product directly, and certainly not to the 
level where it is 'blessed'.
