David,

Our Tru64 system has been frozen at v5.1 for some time now. 
Can you provide me with details on what OS version you have, and whether 
you are receiving active updates to the OS? Our Alpha system as well
as our PA-Risc system are difficult for the Sysadmins to support now, so it 
would
be helpful to know what the community direction is for these systems.
