Laun,

	I can speak a little bit to the last option you mentioned.  There is
an organization called OpenMPE which is setup as a co-op (member owned).
Right now there are no membership dues and pretty much any end user or
vendor that participates in the  OpenMPE discussion group and activities is
considered part of the community.  The OpenMPE Board of Directors has been
working with the vendor community to coordinate "virtual" groups that would
be interested in taking over specific aspects of the support and/or
development of MPE (including Image and the various HP sub-systems).  The
OpenMPE BoD had conducted surveys of end users to determine the desires of
the community.  It has been working closely with HP to turn these desires
into reality.  HP had a reasonably impressive list of announcements and
accomplishments that they presented at the OpenMPE session of HP World,
including the early stages of enabling companies to create a PA-RISC
emulator to eventually replace the HP hardware currently used to run MPE.
One company, Software Resources International (RSI), has already announced
to the OpenMPE community their intentions of moving forward with the
research into the emulator.  Another company, Allegro, has expressed strong
interest and desire to do the same.

	More information, details, the OpenMPE discussion group (including
archives) can be found on the web site (www.OpenMPE.org).

Thanx,
	Jon

Subject: HP3000 Migration Statistics



By now there would be quite a few companies have migrated away from
HP3000. It would be interested to know what sort of percentage or number
have migrate to a particular platform such as HP9000, PowerhouseWeb, .NET
etc.

How many companies have decided to do nothing and continue to depend on
the HP3000 impressive & reliable track record ?

What is the possibility of another company taking over the support and
development
of HP3000 beyond 2006 ?

Regards,

Luan
