I'm trying to put together a software configuration for PSM for my              
customer, and having a difficult time. Can you please verify?                   
                                                                                
I have AIX V4.2                                                                 
       PSM V1.2                                                                 
       PSF                                                                      
       PSM GUI                                                                  
                                                                               
I believe I also need DCE Base svs/6000

But, I can't seem to find these in the configurator, so I'm not sure            
if I need them or not. I just need this configuration for pricing               
right now. Can you please verify what I need? Thanks.

For AIX V4.2, you will need to use PSM 1.2.1.  Both the DCE threads and         
Xwindows are included with AIX V4.
