Look at LEGATO::INFO.TXT.   Bob wrote up the definiition and includes it
within his copy of the file.

    That's why the file format allows it to contain information about
multiple machines.   You'd list all your machines, powered up or not, in
the single INFO.TXT on your gateway machine.

Cool. I might have forgotten some details. Looking at MIM::INFO.TXT, I 
realize that it does mention the machine name, but I don't know for sure

if the file on MIM:: follows whatever format INFO.TXT should be in
nowadays.
We should try to get a formal definition for that file in writing
somewhere.
