Well, if Duane can play his broken record, so can I :-)

One of my central themes of the "Proposition 3000" talk at IPROF '96(?)
was the whole issue of "If Posix/iX works, why do we have separate
(application) software groups between HPUX and MPE?".  We have seen the
great strides in porting of freeware code to MPE, imagine what could
come about if the "porting community" had access to HPUX source code.
Or even better, if there was a *common* source code repository that was
both MPE and HPUX compliant?
