HP-UX Emulation in Lites 1.1.u2

This version of Lites now includes support for running HP-UX binaries on PA-RISC machines. Most general applications from HP-UX 9.x (including socket-based TCP/IP applications) should run correctly under this release, with the following exceptions: If you wish to play with HP-UX binary support, you will have to supply your own HP-UX binaries and shared libraries either by copying them to the host environment or executing them across NFS. Note that many binaries will require that other HP-UX files be installed in ``standard'' places. For example, any dynamically linked HP-UX binary will require /lib/dld.sl.

In summary, limited HP-UX binary support is now available. While this may be ``useful,'' it is not what you really want--X11 support or a native HP-UX environment. The latter will require HP-UX filesystem support in the server and is currently not a goal.
