It's *Apple* OF that does this, not Sun's. Hence, the lack of data. Not
that apple documents it either. Do dev \ ls (Is that the command?), and

Why didn't you get DR8? It came with the Jan. 1997 (or 96?) MacTech. Or
sign up as a BeOS dev. I got DR8.2, AAPR, PR1, PR2, R3, R4 beta, R4,
R4.5, and R5 for absolutely nothing :)
