[comp.sys.hp] HP BASIC - MS-DOS

steve@hpfcdc.HP.COM (Steve Taylor) (01/05/89)

Looking through the October issue of HP Design & Automation (an independent
publication), I find ads for the following:
	PCLIF:	Innovative Software Systems, 14252 Culver Dr., Suite A-444,
		Irvine, CA 92714
		5.25" or 3.5" disks, runs on PC.
	File Copy:	Oswego Software, Inc., 507 North Adams St.,
		Oswego, IL 60543
		5.25" or 3.5" disks, runs on PC.
	DOS for 200/300, LIF for PC:	Meadow Soft Works, 9714 Beversbrook,
		Houston, Texas 77031
		5.25" or 3.5" disks, first runs on HP S200/300, second runs
		on PC.
I have not used any of the above, and cannot make a recommendation for lack of
knowledge, even if I could (for policy).  For completeness, note that the
HP BASIC Language Processor (Viper) provides similar capabilities, also on a
PC system.					Regards,

While at my pervious employ, we had a need to write DOS discs from
200/300s.  After talking with both Meadow and Oswego (who was just
comming out with theirs), it turned out to be easier, faster, and
cheaper just to write one ourselves.  They may be using it still.
