No you are quite right (sorry I am changing jobs at the moment and my accuracy is a bit off ;o)). It is actually MPE/iX. We had a version on our previous HP where you typed something like go unix and it gave one a bash prompt as opposed to the HP interface (on the same box). Very cool. Apologies for my mistake.. And.. Yes again - our HP as stated will be taken out of service. The apps that run on it will be replaced with RAD VB/Oracle based apps by the time the HP reaches end of life.. This is sad as it is an excellent machine and I feel we will be opening up a lot of problems by replacing it with Windows based apps. I think we are doing the right thing, make no mistake, its just that the HP was a stable rock and it is sad it has to go.

I thought that the OS for the HP 3000's was MPE/iX. The HP 9000's do run HP-UX. Jonathan called it HP-IX on the 3000's, I have never seen that name used, but it would be more accurate that HP-UX. While the machines may be stable, remember that they are on a path for end-of-life as of December 2006. Unless, of course, HP changes their mind again. -- Kelly L.
