Software and Applications on HP-UX

HP-UX Unix and the HP 9000 PA-RISC platforms were frequently used for technical computing between the 1980s and 2000s. This included a variety of third-party commercial applications and software suites for engineering and design but also many other uses including publishing, development and emulation
