did you mention was model 3000 you're dealing with?  (do a :showvar hpcpuname)?

tis a pity you're on 6.0.  on 6.5, perl became available on mpe....and there's a image module available (that's pretty nifty, imo).

perhaps someone can comment on the possibility of installing perl on a 6.0 box?        - d

I've got essentially unlimited CPU/IO cycles on other boxes.  I'm severely 
constrained on this one.

Yup - major wildcard.  I was actually expecting to do some low level
bit-twiddling, assuming I can find docs that clearly explain the format.  I'm bringing the
data into Intel 32 bit Linux.  My code is typically Perl by default, and it has a
decent set of conversion routines in the unpack statement, but all bets are
off until I see the data.
