Hi, I manage four RT PC's and have my RT's running AIX 2.2.1. Is this the latest version? where can I get the cheapest upgrades? Also has anyone ever gotten a window manager to work on the RT's? TWM wouldn't work for me. Thanks, acyoung@sunrise.acs.syr.edu

Anyway, there are several levels of updates, so 2.2.1 doesn't really mean that much.... Theres an option to updatep or something to tell you what updates you have installed or look in the lpp.hist files under each feature in the /usr/lpp subdirectories... > Also has anyone ever gotten a window manager to work on the > RT's? TWM wouldn't work for me. Works fine for me, as does gwm... You should be able to get the X11R4 libraries and clients to compile without too much hassle, just no server. -- +-----All Views Expressed Are My Own And Are Not Necessarily Shared By------+ +------------------------------My Employer----------------------------------+ + Ronald S.

If you have an RT running AIX 2.2.1, and you are looking for upgrade
... you are out of luck. No more o.s upgrade will be done on the RT.
However, support for 2.2.1 will continue to exist, according to IBM's
software support center.
Here is what the matrix for future AIX releases look like:
Current Future
Release Upgrade
------- -------
PS/2 1.2 Yes
RT 2.2.1 No
RS6000 3.1 Yes
