Does HP still maintain those machines? I think they're all off maintenance now. HP have moved MPE to PA-RISC (in the late 1980s), with a compatibility mode that simulates enough of the classic 3000 environment to run most executable code compiled since 1974 or so, added Posix (so it's now MPE/iX), and that's what current e3000s are made of. And I expect there are still parts of MPE/iX that are written in (probably several) flavors of SPL, and running in compatibility mode! -Frank McConnell
