Seasons Greetings to everybody! If anyone knows any programming languages and program development tools for a HP 3000 running MPE V, I'll be gratefull to hear about the products, availability and experiences you might have. I'm especially looking for a C- compiler, Assembler, Forth and nice debuggers (preferably source level), forget HP supported products: Cobol, RPG, Basic, Pascal, Fortran, SPL and Toolset. Tnx anyway jja Tampere University Of Technology Finland

I'm a regular INTERACT contributor and write a monthly column for INTERACT (The Lighter Side). I have also been the DP Manager in a number of HP shops and the magazine does not come with HP software support. You can get the magazine in one of two ways. First, you can join INTEREX and become an installation (or individual) member and get the magazine as part of your membership. Or, you can subscribe to INTERACT just like you would subscribe to any magazine. INTEREX (and hence INTERACT and TC INTERFACE) are an independent organization and not part of HP. Hope this helps clear up any confussion. Catch my column if you can find a copy of INTERACT. The Lighter Side began with the December '87 issue and should be in all the 1988 issues. danielle -- *********************** UUCP: {hplabs,decwrl}!sun!toto!{danielle,dbercel} * Toto, I don't think * ARPA: dbercel@sun.arpa * this is Kansas. * COM: dbercel%toto@sun *********************** USMail:2550 Garcia Ave., M3-76, Mtn.

>+ Is that INTEREX smthng HP supported ? >+ How to contact/get closer information ? As far as I know, it is NOT HP-supported. Some stuff, however, does come with glowing recommendations from HP. Some of the programs are real third-party products, and come with all the bells and whistles. For a copy of INTERACT (the HP3000 users group magazine), contact: INTEREX, 680 Almanor Ave, Sunnyvale, CA 94088-3439. For the specific request you had for C compilers, assemblers,...: The C compiler can be had from: Corporate Computer Systems, 33 W. Main St., Holmdel, NJ 07733-3302. They also provide some Unix-like tools like Make, Grep, and a source-code control system. The only "assembler" on the hp3000, as far as I know, is the SPL compiler (which has a fancy "assemble" statement). In general, avoid doing anything in assembly on the 3000. If you *really* need to use the machine instructions, or manipulate the stack (the 3000 has a stack architecture, if you didn't already know), use SPL. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shankar Unni Unix Mail: shankar@hpclscu , shankar%hpclscu@hpda HPMAIL: SHANKAR UNNI/HPUNIX/UX Telnet: 1-447-5797 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you all of you who have answered my question about these HP3000 utilities and programs, I've forwarded the answers to our SM and he is enquiring magazines and programs in the first hand through a national user group and if this doesn't help, we'll use the addresses you have sent. From your answers I've determined that most of you use/have used many of these utilities, so if you can, please send a short description of the best utilities you have used: What, who sells, how much, whatyathinkaboutit ? I'll be very pleased to get your comments ! jja Tampere University of Technology Finland
