   I've heard nothing.  I assume that it's hopeless.  You can
try asking OpenVMS.Programs at hp.  I did, about a year ago, and
heard nothing.

   I've adjusted my Web server to redirect download requests
from HP to "http://antinode.info/hp_redirect.html".  I'm
planning to switch my main workstation/server system from the
current XP1000 running VMS to some x86-based Linux system
some time in 2012.  I wasn't easy to drive me away from VMS,
but HP has found a way.
