However, in my two years working with two different HP3000 systems, I have learned a great deal rather quickly. Interestingly, last summer someone had a HP2000 system they could have donated to us, with a whopping 10K programming space, and an OS based on BASIC... I have to say, I much rather prefer MPE on the 3000. Daniel Kosack [log in to unmask]
