HPUX9 won't be that dead. It's still the highest version the 300
series machines will run and the Y2K problems in it aren't enough
to force alot of folks to upgrade the hardware and OS. We're still
using HPUX8 on a number of our test stands and they even pass enuf
Y2K to keep 'em going (RMB can't do the dates but the system can).
