This package contains the libraries necessary for a functioning decnet system. most decnet programs require these libraries to be present on the system. the libraries are: libdnet - the basic decnet api as featured on ultrix(r) systems libdnet_daemon - useful calls for writing decnet daemons libdap - dap (data access protocol) c++ classes librms - high level library for programmatic access vms files
from linux.
to do useful work with decnet you will also need the dnet-common package.

if you're looking for libdnet, the "dumb" networking library from libdnet.sf.net by dug song then you should install libdumbnet instead. sorry for any confusion caused!
