Unfortunately, it seems to be a frequent occurence in the HP3000
community that someone, typically ignorant of the complexities of
running an MIS shop on a day to day basis, has decided that UNIX
would be the correct strategy for the company to pursue.  We at
CSY (George Stachnik especially) have spent considerable time
and effort to provide our customers with the information they
need to properly evaluate whether such a move is appropriate.
 
So the answer to your question is both no and yes -- No, it is
not supposed to change the opinion of anyone who has enough
knowledge of both environments to have formed a reasonable opinion.
But it will help provide some "ammunition" for use against those
who have made a religious decision to move to Unix, without a
reasoned evaluation of business needs and the strengths and
weaknesses of potential solutions.
