As I heard the story, Denkart ported Image to the 9000, it worked, it was fast,
and it looked the same as the version on the 3000.  What I heard was that HP
owned part of Denkart, and didn't want Image on the 9000, so had the project
killed.

I know at least two other people that have ported Image to DOS and possibly to
Unix.  It was pretty wild to transfer a schema to the PC and run it through that
version of DBSCHEMA and have it work.  Actuall, MicroSpeedware did a very
similar trick when it first came on the scene 12 years or so ago (back when I
worked at Infocentre).

>I may be wrong (after all, I am a salesman now), but I think "p/n
92648-90005, E0989" means print date September, 1989.  I vaguely
remember an excited HP VAR about a decade ago asking if Speedware
(InfoCentre at the time) was going to support the new HPImage product
(from HP) on HP-UX.  They were doing some testing (Cobol, I think --
they were an MCBA reseller) on an HP9K.  They said it looked "just like
Image" on the HP3K.  That was about the last I ever heard of it.
Anybody got a 1989 HP9K price guide?  My oldest one is 1993.  It's not
in there.  Chalk another one up to "What if ..."
