I downloaded 60-day trial versions only a month or so back. -bash-4.0$ /opt/aCC/bin/aCC -V aCC: HP ANSI C++ B3910B A.03.85 That is not free, neither is the C compiler. Dave

It seems you've got to be a "DSPP partner", but I think that is a free for individuals as well as companies. -- Chris

This URL looks a bit dynamic <http://h21007.www2.hp.com/portal/site/dspp/menuitem.b808367c27274c47e06ff7104894e601> but it talks about developing/porting to "an" HP platform. That's what you're doing with Sage, and we are in DSPP for our HP-UX ports. -- Chris
