The official HP MPE/iX documentation can be found at:

http://docs.hp.com/mpeix/all/

Tons of additional technical MPE/iX material can also be found at:

http://jazz.external.hp.com/

My personal home page http://www.bixby.org/mark/ has links to all of my ported
freeware pages (DNS, Sendmail, NTP, Perl, etc) including setup info.
