Yes. Not requiring a special version of MPE for the emulator seems
desirable to CSY. It may also be desirable to the emulator vendors,
I don't know. They could then say that exactly the same version of
MPE that runs on a e3000 also runs via their emulator.

It is true that CSY does not officially exist on an HP org chart,
but most of CSY is still intact and we still all work together
in the same office space as before.

Enough to fund "CSY" in various efforts aimed at working out ways
for MPE to be viable post 2006, even though the official HP and CSY
message is to migrate or at least plan for an eventual migration.
Enough to fund NON-migration focused HP attendees at HP World and the
two upcoming Solution Symposiums. And enough to allow a "CSY'er" to be
on the OpenMPE board at company expense (for time).
FWIW,
Jeff Vance, "CSY"
