I have been atempting to install nmh on our HP machine (uname -a is:
      HP-UX comms4 B.10.20 B 9000/820)
but I keep getting a memory fault and core dump when I run the resulting inc 
command
(and various others like next and pref).  This happens with nmh versions
0.17, 0.26 and 0.27.   Curiously on an earlier system (uname is:
      HP-UX comms2 B.10.01 B 9000/887)
running nmh 0.17 I have no trouble.

    I'm pretty sure you are running into a bug with the sed command in
  post-processing the lex output in zotnet/tws.  There was a patch
  available from HP, but they withdrew it.  I haven't seen a
  replacement, but I haven't been watching too closely.

    Fortunately, an already processed file is available.  Just copy
  dtimep.c-lexed to dtimep.c in the directory mentioned above and make
  sure that the timestamp is newer than dtimep.lex.
