- I have a friend who would like to port an application over from an
- Hewlett Packard 9000 series desktop computer to an IBM PC compatible.
- The current HP 9000 setup is:
-
-
- Series: HP 9000 - 236
- Model: 9836C Desktop
- CPU: 6800
- Peripherals: 2 x Double Density Disk Drives
- 1 x Thinkjet (HPIB)
- Source: Majority of code is in Interpreted HP BASIC
- while some code is in HP PASCAL
-
- Apparently, he has read of a company called TRANSERA, which sells a HP
- BASIC interpreter which runs on an IBM PC. He found an insert card in
- BYTE magazine and sent it off to the company as well as a fax (this was
- several months ago) but got no reply.
-
- He would like to know:
-
- 1. If there are any other solutions from either HP or some other
- party to allow this porting to the IBM PC platform. (Bascially he wants
- to avoid recoding the entire application.)
-
- 2. If anyone has a person to contact in TRANSERA as well as his/her fax
- number.
-
- 3. If anyone has any experience in using TRANSERA products and what
- are their opinions of the product.
-
- Please email to me directly and I will summarise to the list.
-
- Any help will be *greatly* appreciated.
-
- Thanks.
