   Fairly reliable rumor heard at the recent ADUS conference in San Diago is,
   that HP will NOT port OSF to the 9000/800 series risc machines.  Anyone
   out there heard the same or maybe someone from HP could confirm/denie it?

Well, I can't confirm or deny it, because I don't have the facts, but
my opinion is ... that would be a very silly and unlikely move on our
part.

I do know that HP has given a grant to the Univ. of Utah to fund a
port of Mach to the s800 (this is public knowledge).  Mach on s800 is
an obvious first step to OSF/1 on s800.  Draw your own conclusions.
