I had to use MPE awhile back, and what a miserable piece of crap it is. I can't believe it was written by humans. You employer must be on medication... An article was written about MPE in Computerworld about 2 or three weeks ago, where the user group is about to riot... :-) > Sounds much better than NT + SQL Server ;-) > No way. I'd use NT server(s) over MPE ANY day. If someone GAVE me an HP-3000 with MPE I'd donate it to the artificial reef program here in South Florida. You are in for major grief... my condolences... oh well... dust off your resume... :-) -- \\\\|// (6 6) ==============================---o00--(_)--00o---============================ Tim Schaefer http://www.shadow.net/~tschaefe The Computer Business Company, Inc. tschaefe@shadow.net =============================================================================
