[comp.sys.hp] Info wanted on HP-UX 6.2 or newer

mark@comp.vuw.ac.nz (Mark Davies) (09/19/88)

We are planning to purchase approx 20 workstations shortly so have been
looking to see what is available.  As part of this we have had an HP9000
series 300 box on loan for evaluation (running HP-UX 6.01).  We are
basically a Berkeley shop so are concerned by the lack of some berkeley
features.  Such as:
	no wait3 system call
	no berkeley job control
	no SIGWINCH
	14 character filenames
	no pstat, vmstat type commands
	no UNIX domain sockets (and [therefore ?] no syslog and lpd)
	no domain nameserver support
According to the manual the first two of the above are available on the
series 800 boxes and I have been told that HP-UX 6.2 has the Berkeley file
system and the Berkeley line printer stuff so my question is:

	What other features does HP-UX 6.2 have that aren't in 6.01?
	(Is 6.2 the latest release?)

Please E-mail replies as we don't actually get this newsgroup (yet).

thanks
mark

syslog works. It uses AF_INET sockets.

We're running BIND version 4.8 here, so that works too. (I didn't
do the port, so don't ask me.)

We're also running sendmail 5.59 with MX support and all the other
goodies. (I did do the port, so ask me.)
