I really hope that someone at HP is listening in on this thread.  This very
point is, in my view, the key to the continued existance of the HP 3000.  It
would be really great if the HP 3000 would become a more easily accessible
platform for C/S applications.  I suggest that a speedier implementation of
ODBC 32 bits and a friendlier disposition of MPE towards Windows NT would do
wonders for MPE.

After all, cooperation usually accomplishes far more good things than
exclusion.

Kind regards,

Denys. . .
