Ah, thanks for sharing. Looks like Keven's enhanced version has
yes another advantage / improvement over my oooold original one.

As far as I can see, the above site does not have the PowerPatch
patch bundles, but only the Patch/iX installation tools versions.


They can also be found at the ITRC ftp site (somewhat hidden):

  ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/export/bin/  -> patchix##.store

Same ftp site that also has patches (if you don't like the web ui):

  ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/mpe-ix_patches/

Yes, wget (and maybe curl) has been ported to MPE/iX as well :-)
