5.15 and later releases of HP-UX are supported only on the series 300,
not the series 200.  Much of the 5.15 release, including the new
assembler and atrans(1), may actually work on a series 200 machine, but
I repeat that it is not supported.  Of course 68020/68881 code generated
by the new compilers and assembler will not run on the series 200 (with
a 68010 processor).  5.15 does include compilers and an assembler for
the 68010 that use the new syntax.
