On MPE you can do a :STORE of your database, and then on Linux you can do a
rostore (Rosetta Store's restore command) and out will pop an HP Eloquence
database if that's what you want.  Or Oracle, or CSV, XML, BINARY, ASCII,
etc.

Can solve both the "what about my archive of old MPE tapes" problem and the
"how do I migrate my data from MPE to somewhere else" problem that those
migrating off the platform have.  We expect that almost all customers are
going to have *both* problems (to varying degrees) and so this product
should be very successful.

I posted more details about our upcoming Rosetta Store product "the MPE
:RESTORE for non-MPE platforms" on HP3000-L earlier in response to this
question there.  I won't re-post the same stuff here unless someone would
like to see it.
