I've never seen this and we do updates all the time (for each of our pre-release internal integration cycles). > 13) can't put a printer off of a cnode.

This is fixed in 8.0. See comments elsewhere in this notes group. > 14) no support in HP-UX for the parallel interface. Also fixed in 8.0 (and 7.5, I think?) > I hope this is of help.
