1.1  Purpose

   The Internet has experienced a steady growth in X.500 piloting
   activities. This document hopes to provide an easily accessible
   source of information on X.500 implementations for those who wish to
   consider X.500 technology for deploying a Directory service.

1.2  Scope

   This document contains descriptions of both free and commercial X.500
   implementations.  It does not provide instructions on how to install,
   run, or manage these implementations.  The descriptions and indices
   are provided to make the readers aware of available options and thus
   enable more informed choices.

1.3 Disclaimer

   Implementation descriptions were written by implementors and vendors,
   and not by the editors. We worked with the description authors to
   ensure uniformity and readability, but cannot guarantee the accuracy
   or completeness of the descriptions, nor the stability of the
   implementations.
