We are using BSD Suns and HP-UX HP9000s in the same network with NFS mounted home directories. Having two different Elms would be disasterous. With the current situation as having Elm 2.2 PL14 (soon PL15) on all the systems there's no trouble and all the rc-files are similar. There's no way I would give up on this uniformity around here (that is: I'll throw away the Y-HP Elm as soon as it'll arrive).
