Thanks to all for the quick answers!
My original question is below:
Summary:
sizer -v tells you the OS, either 5.1 or 5.1A
Also Richard Jackson sent a nice table listing revision numbers to OS
versions.
Latest Patchkits are pk3 for 5.1A and pk5 for 5.1

=============== original question ========================================
Hi,
I have a few questions re: patch kits...
1) How can I easily tell if a system is running 5.1 or 5.1A ?
uname -a reports 5.1 regardless of if it's 5.1 or 5.1A
Do the revision numbers tell you?
5.1 (Rev 732) == version 5.1
5.1 (Rev 1885) == version 5.1 A ???
2) Whats the latest patch kit for 5.1 and 5.1A ?
3) At ftp://ftp.service.digital.com/public/unix/
how can you tell what file is which patch kit?
ie: I'm looking for Patck Kit 5 for 5.1
Which filename poes this correspond do?
It's not very clear.
Thanks
Paul

Hi
sizer -v gives you the version of Tru64 you are running
I can't help much with 2 and 3. The naming is in my opinion quite confusing.

http://ftp1.support.compaq.com/public/Digital_UNIX/v5.1/Tru64_UNIX_V5.1/doc/htm/TITLE.HTM
follow the same hierarchy for other os versions.
This should indicate the pk no.
