Since when did HP/UX become an HP3000 Operating System?

...and is "MPE" really supposed to be "MPE/V"?

> quality assurance purposes.  Any help would be appreciated.

Methinks the person doing this "survey" hasn't a clue about the HP3000
arena, and should read up a bit before using this list for his fishing
expedition.

As for market share -- there are, what, 30,000 to 50,000 HP3000 systems out
there?  Maybe more?  They all run either MPE/iX or MPE/V, and none of them
run HP/UX!  (If they did, they would be an HP9000).

Best Regards,
Joe
