One issue with moving to Unix is the minimal support of Batch jobs. We
encountered this problem some years ago with some of our clients and so
we developed a system called "Job Assistance" written in PowerHouse and
C that handles job scheduling. The original version was developed on
the Vax in 1988. It was re-developed in 1989 for the HP/3000 and then
ported to HP/UX in 1994. It has been progressively enhanced since then.
It is currently being used to handle job processing for two large
government departments and at a large private sector company.<br>

<p>Is anyone aware of a company in the UK that offers a powerhouse
conversion service.</p>
<p>The company I work with are thinking of moving from HP3000's(MPEX)
