"Push" refers to a release which HP automatically ships to its
customers with an appropriate support contract.  "Pull" is a release
which is shipped only upon request from a client.

        In the HP 3000 FAQ on 3K's web site, I noticed several references to
the MPE/iX 5.0 "push" release, and one reference to a "pull" release.  Could
someone enlighten me as to what these terms (push/pull) mean when refering
to software releases?
   TIA,
