First of all, thanks to :

Vipul Patel vsp_at_unx.dec.com
Dr. Tom Blinn tpb_at_zk3.dec.com
Scott Plummer plummerd_at_ix.netcom.com

In a nutshell :

   a) SVE is a separate kit, located in one of the Associated
        Products CDs

   b) You can't get a "free" 'sar' for DU for any money ;-) If you
        find one, it's almost 100% sure it was 'extracted' from the
        SVE distribution (or compiled from System V sources), and
        you will violate the license by using it (believe it or not,
        even in Argentina).

   c) Scott says :

So perhaps we may not need 'sar' or SVE after all. This is good. We'll
check
back with our CA reps.

Thanks again !
