You must change your DCE thread calls to posix. You cannot use DCE threads with Oracle 8 on HP-UX 11.

HP has some porting guides which might be helpful. It's not a huge change, but you must be sure that every thread call has been examined, because there are subtle differences between DCE and posix.

The alternatives to this are to keep using HP-UX 7.3 (where you must use DCE threads and cannot use posix threads), or (worse) to use the HP-UX 10 version of Oracle 8. You're better off porting the thread calls.
