I admit it. During the last few years of all the
discussion/publication of AIF features I have been just paying
half-attention. But now I might have a need for some features
that might be available from an AIF type capability. Can
someone help me understand how this works? At this time my
questions are:
 
1. How does one know what AIF stuff is available?
 
2. Are AIF instrinsics on every HP system so I can distribute
an application to a target system without worry?
 
3. Do I have to buy a developers kit to learn how to call these
AIF routines?
 
4. Assuming 3 is yes, is it technically possible to call the
AIF routines without having such a kit if you happened to know
the calling parameters?
 
Please enlighten me folks. A little knowledge is very dangerous
and I would like to get less dangerous. TIA.
