- The HP COBOL compilers for 9000/8xx HP-UX machines *are* non-HP compilers!
- As I understand it, they are MicroFocus COBOL compilers. HP has chosen
- to disregard requests from its users and *not* to release its internally
- developed COBOL compilers (the ones that run under MPE XL (MPE/iX)). Instead,
- in a bizarre action, they have implied that MF COBOL may become available
- on MPE! While this is one way to address the problem of not having the
- same COBOL on both machines, it certainly isn't the best way.

- Maybe this question can be pursued at the Interex/InterWorks conference
- in August.
