Apparently, it depends upon what type of update you do (unless HP
actually fixed this ???). I used PATCHIX to go from PP4 to PP5 and a
showme now reports:

RELEASE: C.55.00   MPE/iX HP31900 C.05.08   USER VERSION: C.55.05
                                                                ^
                                           Note ________________|

My other systems, a combination of Express-3 and PowerPatch 4 all show a
user version of C.55.00

Hmmmm.

 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A number of 3000-L postings over the years have tried to point
this fact out. Despite Stan's well written and logically correct
postings to this point, HP continues to defend their numbering
scheme while not getting the real message.

I think a little reminder is in order:

"Perception is reality"
