Hi Lai,

You see the different ?
using file command
# file /stand/vmunix
/stand/vmunix: ELF-64 executable object file - PA-RISC 2.0 (LP64)
-> this is 64 bit

#file /usr/bin/sar
/usr/bin/sar: PA-RISC1.1 shared executable dynamically linked -not stripped dynamically linked
-> this is 32 bit.


WK.
ps remember to assign points

If you are on IPF, you see:
$ file /usr/lib/hpux32/libc.so.1
/usr/lib/hpux32/libc.so.1: ELF-32 shared object file - IA64
$ file /usr/lib/hpux64/libc.so.1
/usr/lib/hpux64/libc.so.1: ELF-64 shared object file - IA64
