Whatever happens in MPE emulation I don't think OpenMPE will achieve
any lasting success until Image calls (the raison d'être for using
MPE in the first place) are usable by the more newer buzzword languages
or the language du jour of the near future.

(Includes faux Image emulators as referred to below.)

We have something very close to an "mpe emulator".  See details at
http://www.xformix.com/xform/xformmf.htm.  Although it does not emulate the
HP 3000 architecture, the toolset contains elements that allows one to
migrate COBOL/VPlus/IMAGE/KSAM sources to UNIX,Linux and soon Windows.
There they are able to be compiled, maintanied and run in an MPE friendly
environment.  The run-time environment consists of either HP-Eloquence or an
RDBMS (Informix or Oracle), Microfocus COBOL, an MPE-like spooler, a
batchjob processor and a shell.  The shell alows MPE JCL and UDC's to be
used in the target environment.
