What I was trying to say/write in the previous post, is that I have found a
application for the MPE CD-ROM, besides OS related stuff. I wasn't saying that I
used it for updates and installs. However looking back at what I wrote I can see
how it could of been misunderstood. What I should of wrote is:

I  have designed our application to import data from the CD-ROM on MPE, by
making use of CDCOPY.
I wouldn't want HP to start thinking that no one uses the CD on MPE, lets not
even talk about scrapping it.
Thank you very much Holger Wiemann of HP Germany for writing CDCOPY
