Interesting HPUX Software - legodude - 12-03-2023
I have two HP PARISC systems - a 712 running 10.20 and a beefy C360 with FX5 running 11i - and I'm looking for interesting software to run on them. Anyone have any suggestions/links?
thanks
mike

I'm in a similar boat as you, I have a 9000/735 and a C8000 tower. I got the 735 out of nostalgia for my graduate school days where I cut my Unix teeth on 715 and 712 workstations, and I was familiar with the C8000 from work so snapped one up years ago on an Ebay deal. But aside from installing HP-UX and getting the core system running, I have no useful software for them and never figured out a good use for them. So they just sit in my shop attic collecting dust. They are built like tanks and I always liked HP-UX running with HP VUE (or later) CDE so it seems like a shame.
That's one reason I like my SGIs so much; there is a lot of useful software and games around for them.

I've got Catia 5.16 for HPUX, but unfortunately, and despite years-long efforts we've never been able to come up with a working license. This is from when IBM owned Catia. If you call 3ds and ask them to sell you a license for 5.16 on HPUX, they'll just either laugh or hang up; I've tried. But hey, if you want it, you can have it. Maybe you can help us all out and figure out a working license. But Catia, I mean, unless you are *seriously* into 3D CAD modeling, it'll just waste disk space.

I have ISO of the application toolkit disks and I use my C8000 quite a bit.
I have a softspot for HP Softbench, which I use for improving my still bad C and the graphics demos are interesting. A few don't run properly on the C8000 because of the FireGL, so I wish I had an earlier model. The car simulation game sounds interesting.
All the OpenGL demos come with source code, which is nice (some of the source code includes mandatory cursing).
Someone on stackexchange said he would get Quake 3 running, and I helped getting the compile (if I recall correctly), but never heard back.
Also for remote X and daily driving the c8000 goes very nicely for web browsing, because of gigabit ethernet, and it gets the colours right.
I also got GIMP running and when I'm playing around with OpenGL, I can create the textures there, etc..
The C8000 is also quiet. But super hot. It's the hottest computer I own.
My 712 is now running nextstep. Not much to do with HP-UX 10
