Inpression ? I though it was FACT ? :-) :-)

BTW, you need to step back a number of years when Digital was also a
printer company. It made sense back then to have DCPS (and remember that
initially, it supported only DEC printers).

My guess is that DCPS is not strategic to HP, it is just a leftover that
is seen as part of VMS and needs to be maintained.

But it is one of the few products still being developped for VAX. And
Paul Anderson has historically alwatys provided good communicatiosn with
the c.o.v. community.

BTW, Mr Anderson, if you read this: The NPMANAGE utility for the mac can
be used on OSX (powermac). Runs in the classic environment fine.
