[comp.sys.hp] HPUX 8.0 for 9000/300 Series machines

scottm@spiderman.spider.co.uk (Scott Mackie) (05/14/91)

Has anyone (from HP or otherwise) any idea when HPUX 8.0 is going to
be shipped to customers for the 300 series machines? 

I've got a 16Meg 9000/345 running here that grinds to a halt under the weight
of having static X11R4 libraries! I'd really like the shared library support
that 8.0 offers... (naw, really??!! ;-)

Any clues?

Scott.......

Last time I talked to the "factory", the word I got was that 8.0 for the
800s had passed quality control, but someone put a hold on distribution.
No firm date for shipment, but expected within the month.  However, 8.0
for the 300s had some serious trouble, and would ship at least 8 weeks
after the 800 version.

Massive disclaimers apply.
