Documentation for Transitioning Software to HP-UX 11.0
Hewlett-Packard has provided several resources to help you transition
software to HP-UX 11.0.
• HP-UX 64-bit Porting and Transition Guide
This guide provides a detailed discussion on programming issues
involved with porting software to HP-UX 11.0. It describes the
changes you need to make to compile, link, and run programs on a
64-bit operating system. See
/opt/ansic/newconfig/RelNotes/64bitTrans.bk.ps,
/opt/aCC/newconfig/TechDocs/64bitTrans.bk.ps, or the Instant
