Hi Steve,

Should have remembered SPLash! because I used it to migrate a ViewData
application from a Series 70 to a 918LX back in 1997. Great
documentation and very helpful error messages. It was a very easy
project to do.

I don't have access to an iX box as I am retired. I have to settle for
the SPL compiler that comes with SimH/HP3000 Simulator. It is limited to
V/R because V/E requires emulation of HPIB and the guy who wrote the
emulator doesn't have enough documentation on HPIB to implement it.

Do you do a hobbyist licence for SPLash! and if so, how much would it
cost? Just asking in case I either get an iX box or access to the
Stromasys Emulator.

Robert
