- I'd suggest porting to DEC OSF/1 instead of ULTRIX. DEC has publicly
- stated (and I have personally observed) that DEC OSF/1 is our future.
- As a bonus, I think DEC OSF/1 has many more similarities to AIX
- than ULTRIX has to AIX. Might make your porting job a little easier.
-
- I've used both AIX and ULTRIX. Can't say I favor one over the other.
