Yo, I'm interested in finding any and all sources of application software for the old 9800 series calculators/computers --- especially any surveying software for the 9830(!). I'd also be interested in HP (PRO)BASIC (Rocky Mountain BASIC) and HP Pascal (workstation and/or HP-UX) software for the HP-9000 series 200/300. Any version of any of the operating systems is ok. While I'm at it, Series 80 (Tech BASIC) for any model Series 80 machine would be welcome too. Uh, and IPC stuff too. In other words, I'd like any and all information regarding available software for ANY old HP programmable calculator/computer, current hand-held product, or work-station, including HP-developed, third-party developed, g-job, scribbled notes, etc. I'll take actual software or names of persons who have such software. For those interested, I have somewhat of an archive of HP materials and would like to make it more comprehensive. If you have anything like or related to what I've described (including hardware and manuals) drop me a note. Thanks, John W. Loux louxj@jacobs.cs.orst.edu

How far back do you want to go? In addition to our series 800 and 300 "state-of-the-art" stuff, we still support BCS on an HP1000/E!! (OK, I know most of you never heard of BCS...it pre-dated RTE, and uses paper-tape for mass storage -- yes, we are obliged even to support paper tape! :-( How about HP-Algol? (we ported that from RTE-II to RTE-6/VM in order to continue supporting hundreds of application programs!) And we've got lots of HP150 software.... Problem with HP is that their machines never break! :-) (We still have BCS-based machines on the manufacturing floor which no-one wants to replace because they work so well... ) Arrrrgggg!!!! -- +-----------------------------------------------+-------------------------+ | Hershel Belkin hp9000/825(HP-UX)| UUCP: teecs!belkin | | Test Equipment Engineering Computing Services | Phone: 416 246-2647 | | Litton Systems Canada Limited (Toronto) | FAX: 416 246-5233 | +-----------------------------------------------+-------------------------+
