- Michael,
-
- I attempted to reply to this privately, but there appears to be a
- problem with your mailer. My apologies for the resulting delay.
-
- ULTRIX is more or less scheduled to be replaced by OSF/1 based
- systems (it will be supported for old users, but the thrust is
- definitely toward the OSF product).
-
- If I were in your shoes, I would be more inclined to look at porting to
- POSIX compliant environments, which would make the issue of which exact
- operating system less important.
-
- I hope that the above is useful. If my colleagues or I can be of
- further assistacne, please feel free to contact me.
