  How come STUPI is talking to LEGATO via GORVAX, when STUPI has a direct
Multinet connection to LEGATO?   It could have done it in one hop, and
instead it chose two. 

  Answer: because the circuit costs are screwed up.   With redundant paths
you have to be really careful about how you set your circuit costs in order
to get the routings that you want; otherwise you'll get foolish results like
this.

  The NETPTH executable you have runs on 36 bit machines?   It's really a
shame that there's not a VAX version.
