Hi Dean,

Without a conversion kit from HP, your box will only run MPE/iX but
hey, what's wrong with that? You get a robust system with a built-in
DBMS, a Unix (Posix) shell, and loads of downloadable freeware.

I'd watch out about licensing issues for MPE/iX - I don't really know
how this works but I think you need to purchase a license... Maybe
someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

Mark Wilkinson.
