Since you can link your application to a .sl file and a .so file what exactly are the differences between .so and .sl files?

After a quick googling, I found this.

*.so shared libraries are used in HP-UX 11.20 and upwards. 

*.sl are used in PA-RISC (11.11) 

Basically, *.so files reside in /usr/lib/hpux32 and /usr/lib/hpux64/ on Itanium. 

*.sl resides in /usr/lib
