I have been asking this same question on this list not long ago. Glad that
somebody else brings it up, too. At Uniface, we are shifting development from C
to C++, and MPE/iX is the odd one out. All our other platforms have it,
even IBM MVS !
 
Except for public domain (GNU) stuff, there does not seem to be anything. The
response from HP went like 'Yes we know it's important' and 'No it's not trivial
to port from HP9000 to HP3000'. But no plans or intention to provide it ...
If they REALLY want apps to be ported to MPE, they should deliver C++ PDQ !
