We bought a "contrib tape" for a 9000/320 that had useful things like a
monitor program, but it only had relocatables. The relocatables don't
work on our newest systems (6.2, 6.5)-they load, but don't report things
correctly. It would be REAL nice to have some system performance
monitoring tools as part of the HP-UX distribution (how about throwing
monitor in there?). Even the 1000 ships such things (they have a program
called meter). At any rate, I don't remember the part number of the 300
Series tape and can't find it documented anywhere...

  -Does it still exist? (what is the part number? where can we get it?)

  -Does one exist for the 9000/800 Series as well? (what is the part
   number? where can we get it?)

  -I've seen mention of an "X contrib tape" in comp.sys.hp recently:

   Any chance of this being available for normal ordering? Would it be
	better to get the MIT distribution for X goodies? or would this tape
	be different enough to get it too?

Thanx,
