Yes. AFAIK, the pthread package comes as part of the optional DCE client =
on
HPUX 10.20. It comes in HPUX 11.00 by default.=20

HPUX 11.00 seems to be a good bet but I believe HPUX 10.20 works as well.
If it doesn't, check your compiler and support library.=20

Hugo.Vandeputte@meteo.fr helped with the HPUX 10.20 port. He has been usi=

it quite sucessfully.

Jacques Progin <jpr@wag.ch> and Stephen Coy <stevec@cia.com.au> have help=
ed
with the HPUX 11.00 port. Jacques has been using it quite sucessfully in
his project. However he reported last week that the ORB hangs during
shutdown. We have now identified that this is caused by the fact that the
behaviour of its shutdown system call is different from other flavours of
unix. We still have to work out a solution before 2.8.0 final.
