The feeling I got from reading this is they want a VMware type product,
to allow booting/running MPE and their 3rd party MRP package; along
with other things -- non-MPE.

Which I don't think exists (yet?).

But the discussion has "migrated" to the MPE emulators available.
Note that to do this type of migration, source to the Growth Power
package would most likely be necessary. However, I do believe that
Allegro has proven the ability to move object files from MPE to HPUX.


As far as I know, there are four vendors with products for
MPE emulation on HPUX/Linux/Windows.

1. MPUX from Ordina-Denkart
    MPE shell and intrinsic library
    http://www.ordina-denkart.com/

2. AMXW from Activant/Speedware
    MPE shell and intrinsic library
    http://www.speedware.com/solutions/HPe3000_migration/

3. Transport from Transformix Computer Corporation
    MPE shell and intrinsic library
    http://www.xformix.com/

4. Intrinsic/iX from Allegro
    Intrinsic library for HPUX/Linux.

I don't know why, but the last time I replied on this topic
