These tools are the application layer interface for DECnet on Linux systems. They provide file/terminal access facilities between OpenVMS and Linux and remote execution of commands. Also included is a Linux version of the VMS "Phone" utility and a VMSMail to SMTP gateway.
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. . 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!
