Yeah, right. Trust these HPRC'ers and you're asking for it.

Better have a *reliable* sysgen CSLT tape to recover from if your upgrade
don't work correctly.

Some time ago I upgraded from 5.5 to 6.5 PP2 and trashed my networking
software!

Now I have to use the undocumented OVERRIDE option of the NSCONTROL and
NETCONTROL commands in starting up and shutting down the network.

However, it apparently works ok. The only real problem I have now is that I
cannot upgrade to 6.5 PP3 as the system fails when I attempt to start up
the network on PP3. I had to reinstall back to PP2.

God bless full system backups and sysgen CSLT tapes created prior to
attempting the upgrade.

No, I don't have HP support on my trusty little 917LX so 6.5 PP2 gives me
what I need for my development....
