Regarding the HP9000 series 3xx, I need some information regarding product
availability from some of the nice factory people who seem to frequent this
group:
1.) At which version of HPUX does X.11 become the standard
X windows interface?
2.) At which version of HPUX does support for HPCL-I end?
3.) At which version of HPUX does support for WINDOWS/9000
end?
4.) At which version of HPUX does support for X.10 end?
This is probably available somewhere, but as yet, I have not seen any info
regarding HP's product support plans through HPUX 7.0 and beyond. Is this
proprietary? Thanks in advance for this info.
While I have your attention, perhaps this is also an opportune time to ask
about the (final?) 5.3 (?) release of HPUX for the 5xx series ?? When? What?
Can anyone help here ??

It should start getting to customers at the end of this month. HP is supporting it as the standard windows interface. > 2.) At which version of HPUX does support for HPCL-I end? I don't know what HPCL is. > 3.) At which version of HPUX does support for WINDOWS/9000 > end? Release 6.5 has the complete WINDOWS/9000 offering in both AXE and PE. Customers are being urged to migrate to X 11 beginning with this release. There are a number of scenarios being proposed for the future of WINDOWS/9000. I am not at liberty to discuss them, but rest assured, WINDOWS/9000 is not going away overnight. > 4.) At which version of HPUX does support for X.10 end? X Version 10 was made a product by Corvallis Workstation Operation and it will be up to them what happens with it. I will let them speak for themselves. This does not necessarily represent the official position of HP. Bruce Rodean rodean%hpfcrn@hplabs.HP.COM

In general, products don't just die overnight. In past projects I've worked on, customers were given a 5-year warning of any product obsolescence. To my knowledge, however, this is only a policy and not a law for HP products. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Light HP Industrial Applications Center - mlight@hpiacla.HP.COM -----------------------------------------------------------------------
