Graphical Print Queue Manager
New terminal emulator
Action and datatype syntax changes
ToolTalk messaging support
Desktop application registration
more standard X-Windows stuff is part of the installation

X Miscellaneous Utilities library (Xmu)
Imake
New Filesystem Layout -- modeled after the AT&T SVR4 and OSF/1 file systems
and is implemented on both Series 700 and Series 800 computers.
There are fewer differences between the layouts of other vendors' file systems
and that of HP-UX Files are organized into categories such as static versus
dynamic, executable versus configuration data, and so forth. Operating system
software is kept in separate directories from application software Files
that are meant to be shared by different hosts are kept in separate
directories from host-specific files Restricted SAM -- Non-superusers
can be given limited access to SAM functionality or other custom utilities
added to SAM. Where appropriate, these users are promoted to superuser
while they are executing SAM functionality.
Modified Commands
du -k -- reports disk usage in 1024-byte blocks instead for 512-byte blocks
csh -- the "limit" builtin command is available, LINES and COLUMNS
are set when csh starts up.
passwd -- New password aging options
