     The 918DX program has been quite successful at least from an order
     perspective.  Although it is being primarily used by existing ISVs who
     are modernizing their existing applications and tools, we are starting
     to see some interest among tool providers interested in using it to
     port to the HP 3000.  This is being driven by the recent growth of the
     HP 3000 in the marketplace.  There are no specific success stories
     that I can point to at this point, but I am confident that these will
     occur in time.  If there are any 918DX ISVs out there that are willing
     to share their 918DX successes, please let me know.

     CSY is currently exploring ways to increase ISV activity, especially
     in the application area, by stepping up our marketing efforts.  In
     addition, we plan to expand SPP MPE/iX services to align more closely
     with standard services that are currently available to HP-UX ISVs.
     Stay tuned for more information.

     Thanks for your continued interest in the HP 3000.

     Regards, Kriss Rant / Alliance Development Manager
