HP700 host arch EPICS users:

R3.13.0beta8 for HP-UX (10.x) has been built and tested.
A list of config files and HP700 host arch related include
files have been modified/added onto the EPICS Collaboration
release R3.13.0beta8. 

Before I commit these changes into APS cvs repository, 
I'd like to have your site to test it (R3.13.0.beta8-HPport.Tar.Z) 
so that you would have the minimum configuration changes 
to the next EPICS release from the EPICS Collaboration (APS)
distribution. 

Let me know if you are interested in testing the code.
If you have already built R3.13 release on HP-UX, I'd like 
to have your change list.

Thanks,

PS. Hope the following will not discourage you to test the code.

(EPICS comics ...
A: r3.12 is pain ... if your application is sharing an IOC with 
   others, it forces me re-make my databases everytime someone 
   modified the ascii files.
B: Guess what ? r3.13 finally got rid of the default.dctsdr
   so that even runtime add/delete of record types and record 
   instances is possible.
A: That's nice ! But how can I know that my databases are consistent
   with the record definition being loaded on the IOC ?
B: ... well ... Maybe we need to design EPICS 4.0 for re-boundling ...
