I was puzzled too, because I kept looking for some way in which the
problem was relevant especially to 'MPE life after HP'.

But I couldn't (and still can't) see where this problem wouldn't have
been equally well served by being posted to HP3000-L? Or better served,
by avoiding fragmentation?

I imagine all the experts who could have answered it there are here too,
so that's probably not an issue.

But wouldn't it have better served all those people who, like Alan, want
to watch and learn, but aren't subscribed to OPENMPE because they expect
that to be about the emulator and so on, and not about ongoing
'ordinary' MPE problems?

Or are we looking at the birth of OPEN-HP3000-L? :-))

Just my tuppence ha'penny-worth....
