Are the bootable SPLs bootable on the InfoServer, or do they provide
the loader to boot a host _from_ an InfoServer?

I have several SPLs of various vintage.  In looking at them, I see
two versions of InfoServer software: 2.1 and 3.5.

The one set which has 2.1 has the following files:

	Directory loop1:[SYS0.SYSEXE]
	ISL_LVAX_055.SYS;1  ISL_SVAX_055.SYS;1

	Directory loop1:[SYSD.SYSEXE]
	ESS$BOOT.PAR;1

The sets which have 3.5 have:

	Directory loop1:[SYS0.SYSEXE]
	IS1000_V35.SYS;1

	Directory loop1:[SYSD.SYSEXE]
	ESS$BOOT.PAR;1      HELP.MEM;1          LOCSUPDATE.EXE;1    SYSBOOT.EXE;1
	SYSLOCS.EXE;1

Sounds like the authors of this stuff are here to comment on what that
means, but my "keyword out of context" engine suggests that the CDs
containing 3.5 would probably only boot on (from?) an InfoServer 1000.
