Ken - good news on the C++ thing. My response comes from a different
perspective - but in answer to question 2 on your survey, unless a language
provides easy access to KSAM/IMAGE etc I don't think it's a viable language
on the HP3000. (See my diatribes elsewhere about the lingustic bill of rights).
I also think that direct support for MPE/iX code management tools is another
basic necessity.
(Steps down from soapbox and wipes sweat from furrowed brow)
Thanks.
