You can do almost anything (computing wise) your heart desires with the data
(and the computer).  You can transfer the data to another computer, access
it in real-time, update it from the PC environment in batch or in real time,
shadow it to the PC environment.  You can have an ISAM implemtation on the
PC.  You can import it into a database of your choice.  You can access it in
place on the HP 3000 (or is that redundant with one of my other points, oh
well.  You get the picture.

Could you be more specific.  In an ideal world, what would you really like
to do with the data.  Let your mind and your imagination go free.  The HP
3000 is a totally accessable, fully interoperable computing device.  MPE is
your friend. The only thing standing between you and computing nirvana is a
little information and after that a little software and a few
services,perhaps.  Talk to us we are your ticket to Shangri La.
