Hi all,

Just got the following from "HP Smartfriend" and thought I'd pass it on.
The last I heard, 6.5 PP1 was coming out "sometime around October," so
this is welcome news. :-)

Sorry for any wrap (it should end with "=22392"). Do read the article at
the link, since it contains, among other things, the end of support date
for MPE/iX 6.0.
