To which I'll add (just to make sure no one gets the wrong idea!)...
 
I suspect Nick knows, (and thus did not mean his statement to be read
this way) that the HP3000 _does_ have an RPG compiler.  So if the
programs are being moved to the HP3000, there is no need to _write_ a
compiler.  My sense of the original posting was that they simply
wanted to switch languages for some reason, but were not necessarily
changing boxes.
