Denys,
While I agree that INTEREX is relevant sometimes it can so dumb so as to
make HP corporate marketing of the HP e3000 look good.

An excellent question Mr. Clark. Interex certainly can AND will play a part
in whatever future is created for MPE. Already the Interex web site has
some announcements about this issue and there will be more announcements
forthcoming, trust me on this (next week or week after.)
In the meantime, let me once again urge every Interex member to renew their
membership when it comes due and for those of you who are not members, if
there ever was a time to join Interex, it is now
Kind regards,
Denys. . .

I'll admit I have not fully followed this conversation and I apologize if
this has already been noted, but going through some of my old bookmarks I
stumbled across an Interex article discussing MPE "Shared Source".
http://www.interex.org/tech/3000/hp30003.html
This tells me that at one time there was discussion on the merits of 'Open
source' for MPE and Interex would provide the host for these shared
programs. The initial source codes available were to be Query, Editor and
Java Class libraries.
Is this now a dead issue with the announcement of the death of the hp3000?
Can Interrex help in the future of Open MPE?

What about an MPE shell for UNIX or LINUX?
