It's my understanding HP is still supporting MM and it has not been
discontinued.  I don't work in the same area that MM is supported so
things may have changed.  But I do know that the current version of
MM does support the year 2000, so if MM is able to support your business
now it should continue to support it beyond  the year 2000.

Also at HP WORLD'96 is the Manufacturing Conference where you can talk
to other MM users and 3rd party companies that support MM.  Also at the
conference will be other manufacturing software vendors.
