I'll admit I have not fully followed this conversation and I apologize if
this has already been noted, but going through some of my old bookmarks I
stumbled across an Interex article discussing MPE "Shared Source".
http://www.interex.org/tech/3000/hp30003.html
This tells me that at one time there was discussion on the merits of 'Open
source' for MPE and Interex would provide the host for these shared
programs. The initial source codes available were to be Query, Editor and
Java Class libraries.
Is this now a dead issue with the announcement of the death of the hp3000?
Can Interrex help in the future of Open MPE?

What about an MPE shell for UNIX or LINUX?
