Shortly before the original thread started, I was in the early stages of
porting SAP DB (www.sapdb.org).  This is my first port to the HP e3000 so
it's taking a bit longer than the seasoned porters:-)  If anyone is
interested in helping, please let me know.

Once we have a stable environment we will post the URL.
