Ladies and Gentlemen: First, my apologies for the HTML stuff in the original email. I forgot to switch to plain text! Next, Mr. Kagel gave me a great answer (see below). Thank you.

This is a text only forum. MIME triples the required bandwidth and as you can see below, we just see a very difficult to read mess. Having said that... You need to get IDS for HPUX/Itanium from IBM. IB they will have no problem swapping license for license as long as the number of configured CPU VPs are the same or lower. You cannot use the PA-RISC version on Itanium and there is no way you can recompile it yourself. Art S. Kagel ----- Original Message ----- From: R....
