According to HP, the first > 11.x release was in 1997, and the l0.x release was also in 1997.

But shouldn't we then clearly state that we drop hpux 10.X versions=20 support? =20 Should we remove the function get_hpux_major_release=20 completely, or turn it into a function returning a variable, that could be set by some command like "set hpux-major-release-version XX" that would allow people using it on an old HPUX 10.X to still get old behavior? Does anyone know of a good mailing list for HPUX developers to which we could forward that question? Pierre Muller Pascal language support maintainer for GDB
