It really makes you wonder why there *is* an HP-UX kernel lab, and what they're doing. Block mode support is just the latest in a *lonnnngggg* list of worthwhile HP features that cost little or nothing to support ... and yet were dropped, drastically affecting some users (and vendors). Heck...*HP* has products not yet ported to HP-UX 11.0 because of changes/deletions! Looks like HP-UX needs to import some customer care concepts from MPE land! Hmmm...mayhap this (continuing loss of features) is a concern Interex should be working on? -- Stan Sieler [log in to unmask] http://www.allegro.com/sieler.html
