I started to post the Update_info/from.5.05 file in response, but since it's
37 Kbytes, I had second thoughts. Instead I post just the summary from the
beginning and suggest you get your SE to run off a listing or email it to
you.

************************************************************************
This document summarizes the changes in the operating system, libraries,
commands, compilers, and other subsystems when updating from the 5.05
release to the 5.1 release for the HP9000 Series 500 computers. It
should be read by all system administrators (if you are updating from
the 5.01 release then you should be reading
/etc/newconfig/Update_info/from5.0).
The Series 500 5.1 release is a minimal update from 5.05, but it is
still a full relese, SUPERCEDING ALL PREVIOUS RELEASES. It is object
code compatible with the 5.05 release, and thus existing programs will
not see any differences.
