I have not worked on MPE for over a decade.  So, I am quite unfamiliar with the
current capabilities of MPE.  I am considering buying an A500 system to develop
a software in the form of mostly several routines.  I want to use only flat and
KSAM files, no Image or other databases.  I would like user to use a browser
like MS Internet Explorer as an interface to my system and I have no idea how to
do this.  Can anyone answer the following questions?

1.  How difficult it would be to write a server application on HP3000 that will
receive commands from the browser and send data back to the browser?  Is a
software package available to facilitate this task?

2.  Do I need any other hardware and/or software?

3.  I can get an A500 HPUX unit at a very good price.  Does HP sell a kit to
convert this to MPE?  If it does, any idea on its cost?  I believe that the MPE
filesystem is much better suited to my application.  Hence, I am inclined to
write it for MPE platform rather than Unix.

Thank you in advance.
