If you can get 6.2 from HP.  I got a letter a few months ago saying
"here it comes" but it never did.  A call to HP said "we'll get it too
you real soon" but so far vaporware.  HP seems to screw these software
shipments up a lot, since our original opsys tapes had random files
on them instead of the marked ones.  At least I got a second set of
manuals for free in the make-up shipment (now if I could find space to
put them out :-) ).  Good thing the software works so well when it finally
gets here, or I'd be screaming by now...
