- Contrary to popular belief, not all of us in HP have access to the
- latest and greatest stuff. I downloaded a copy of the 9.0 release
- notes (kindly posted by someone at Mentor Graphics) from this very
- notes group. I believe I read that applications compiled on HP-UX
- 8.0x can be run on HP-UX 9.0 without recompiling. This seems to be
- confirmed by some folks in Fort Collins but... (and this is a BIG BUT!)
-
- I don't speak for HP and they don't speak for me.
