MQ Series client has been available for the HP3000 for some period of time
(which I don't know off the top of my head) from Willow Technology. I know
its in production use at several sites. Contact Gary Clueit
([log in to unmask]) or see the web page at www.willowtech.com for details.

The MQ Client does NOT have a dependency on the JVM technology, nor on JDBC.
Your MPE version (5.5) is good to go with MQ. Sounds like you are OK to me.

Give Willow Technology a call, they will be happy to get you going. BTW,
Monterey Software has been assisting Willow with MQ Series porting issues on
the 3000, just so you know where I'm coming from :-)!
