Migrating Suprtool to HP-UX
Recently I was asked why Suprtool for HP-UX doesn't work or even exist, when our web site had references to the product all over. I was incredulous, but apparently someone had been saying that Suprtool for HP-UX did not exist!!!!
Well nothing could be further from the truth, and what is even more important we have some great new enhancements and options available!
However, one of the biggest questions in the last three weeks is what are the differences between MPE and HP-UX. It is evident that many customers recognize the investment that they have in their Suprtool code and want to know the types of changes they need to make to their code in order for it to work on HP-UX if they move from MPE.

Frank Smith for MPE Training
The Feb 2004 issue of
The 3000 Newswire
contains a good interview with
Frank Smith of
Alden Research, who offers certified MPE/iX training. Frank
even developed MPE training classes for HP. Contact him via
email at falden@aol.com or tel:
410.750.2101. Many other
MPE consultants also offer MPE training,
so it should not be a problem to get training for new staff for quite some time.

Merging Lines Horizontally
Merge is a Qedit command that matches lines in the current workfile with lines from a "merge" file, based
on the line number.
Qedit pre-release 5.4.12 contains a new option, MergeJ, which
appends the corresponding line from the
