Hello all,
Thanks to everybody who responded to my questions about using Pro/Engineer
and Pro/Mechanica running on Digital Unix 3.2D-1.
I will summarize responses, I'm sorry I'm not able to summarize results.
first response from ole-christian.schroder_at_nopow.abb.no:

We asked local digital support center with no response yet.

About needed swap space. Marek Pola writes:

About using Pro/Engineer + DU 3.2D-1 and AFS (Andrew File System -
- distributed filesystem):
Nobody responded - it seems there nobody uses AFS and Pro/Engineer on
DU 3.2D-1.
Thanks again to everyone who replied.
Best regards,
