Isn't this statement a bit as from an alternate universe in another time:

"Besides Tru64, HP also acquired the VMS platform in the Compaq purchase,
and later proceeded to migrate third-party applications that ran on the
two operating systems to HP-UX. Many users, however, chose to move to
Linux from Tru64 instead."

There is only 1 tiny little problem with this statement.
Christmas 2004, HP laid-off *ALL* of the Tru64 UNIX developers
involved in porting those components to HP-UX. And as far as I
know, HP never released those ported products.
