Not that I'd be aware of its existence, even after some years with 
HP-UX.  HP-UX 11.00 manpages don't show it neither. Maybe some (quiet 
old) Starbase (HP's ancient graphic lib) had something with that name.
I've just tried compiling Radiance 3R5 on HP-UX 10.0, that worked except 
an error in 'x11twind.c' . That could probably be fixed if you're really 
interested. On HPUX 11 I don't know.
My personal thought If you have PA-RiSC (HP's "Precision Architektur" 
CPU)  hardware to use, but no compelling reasons to run HP-UX,  Debian 
Linux offers a more standardized system, and it runs fairly well on 
non-Intel CPUs. Although the XFree server is not supported on all models 
and HP graphic cards ( = use PA-RISC for calculation).
