center)

On this page you can find several pieces of software that I was able to port toMPE/iX, the "legacy" operating system of the P ! line of computers# $his is not

your parent%s P ! any more& It has evolved over the last '() years and still

remained e*tremely compatible to itself# ow many other platforms do you +now, that

can run or ' year old programs, some even written for a -P. architecture that

 predates P01I2-, in most cases without any changes or even recompiling3 nd all

this side by side with Posi* based client0server applications li+e pache or 2amba and

modern ob4ect0oriented programming languages li+e 5ava3 6ut better don%t let me get

• Open Source software ported to MPE/iX

•  Tips and Trics for !a"a and t#e HP 3000

• Lins to ot#er #elpful info $re%sources

Please notice that I ported the freeware available on this page to MPE/iX because I

had some personal need to have it available on MPE/iX or sometimes also 4ust for fun

or out of curiousity# It wor+ed fine for me but I did not perform e*tensive testing# I%msharing it here in case you might also find it useful 9and don%t want to reinvent that

wheel8# :eel free to pic+ it up and use it, but be aware that you do this at your own

risk  and that this software is totally unsupported# ;on%t blame me 9or anybody else8 if

something doesn%t wor+ as e*pected or even causes damage& lso have a loo+ at the

license files that come with each pac+age 9typically the <=. <eneral Public >icense8

to get an idea what you may or may not do with the software#
