AAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!
 
Why the @#$%^& can't HP listen, and do the right thing?
 
      HP's C++ on the 3000 ... not GNU ... HP's.
 
What the #$%& is CLL for, anyway?  Remember when the 3000 portion
moved to Roseville and we were told it wouldn't affect their support
of the 3000?  Yeah, right:  there's been no reduction from the level of 0
support.
 
Friends, this is not a negotiable issue for the user community:
 
   1) if HP's C++ is not put on the 3000, then:
 
           POSIX doesn't work, does it?
 
   2) if HP's C++ is not put on the 3000, then:
 
           There is *NO* CLL (Language Lab) support for the 3000!
 
and, while we're at it, where *is* level 3 and level 4 optimization
for C and Pascal?  HP-UX has had it for a long time!
