Hi Denys

Used be MPE was classic OS with MPE CX, MPE II, MPE III, MPE 4.. and
PA-RISC with MPE/XL 4.0(?) or 4.5 ....5...  6...

Two different OS (MPE Vs MPE/XL) for Two different Architecture (Classic Vs.
PA-RISC) but almost identical, look and feels same with minor change.

Question with IA-64?  "MPE/XXL64 v 8.0"    :-)
