No. PA-RISC 2.0 introduced some new instructions, but does not have to be 64-bit. 64-bit can be useful, but it can also slow down applications. So it's a tradeoff. > Do you build this octave for > o linux on PA-Risc or also for > o HP-UX-11.11 ???? We don't build binaries for HP-UX. Some people have suggested starting a new port to build binaries for proprietary unices sch as Solaris and HP-UX, but nobody has actually done so yet. -- Revolutions do not require corporate support.
