Notice MPE/iX, Multiprogramming Executive with Integrated POSIX, is the latest in a series of forward-compatible operating systems for the HP 3000 line of Hewlett-Packard computers. MPE/iX is a superset of its direct predecessor MPE XL, and all programs written for MPE XL will run under MPE/iX without change. Also, you can continue to use MPE XL system documentation, although it may not refer to features added to the operating system to support POSIX (for example, hierarchical directories). You may encounter references to MPE V, the operating system for HP 3000s that are not based on the PA-RISC architecture. MPE V software can be run on PA-RISC HP 3000s (series 900) in compatibility mode.
