Hmph!  :)

With the exception of programs that used FLABELINFO, FPARSE, or JOBINFO,
all my CM programs should
still work (on MPE V and MPE/iX).

Note: I'm about to release a free package with FLABELINFO, FPARSE, and
JOBINFO for
the SIMH HP3000 simulator ... this allows things like the CM QEDIT to run!
(As well as a few of my CM progams :)

Seriously, I must admit being pleasantly surprised when TAPEDIR works ...
it's not the cleanest
of my programs, internally.

Also, if you are a Rosetta Store owner, Rosetta can list the contents of CM
STORE tapes *and* restore
most files from them onto HP-UX, Linux, Mac, or Windows.  (Note: this is a
new feature, and isn't
as complete as the ability to restore from NM STORE tapes.)
