Yup.

While HP has not published the list of subsystems to be
included in subject "emulated environment", I am confident
that if an emulator becomes a reality it's essentially a
"done deal" that Allbase will be included.  Remember:  You
cannot do ODBC access to TurboIMAGE without Allbase;  and
the ONLY difference between Image/SQL and the full "for
purchase" Allbase product is that the Image/SQL version does
not contain the fabled "ninth module", that allows uses to
put more than 12 MBytes of user data in an Allbase DBE...

As was previously mentioned, it makes no sense to talk
about emulating MPE without having IMAGE...  and Allbase
is an integral part of Image/SQL.
