The 3000 division took its compilers’ future into
its own hands
HP mentioned at HP World that some
of the compilers for the 3000 are going back under the wing of the 3000
Commercial Systems Division (CSY). Customers are viewing the shift as a
good thing, a change transparent to developers and users but important to
keeping the 3000’s compiler technology more current. The Software
Services Group will continue to work on the products, but now they will be
part of the CSY plans for the 3000 (and, we presume, better-funded from
inside the division.) The plan offers continuity — engineers who have
worked with the software stay on the project — as well as new
motivation to move forward. HP says the affected compilers are COBOL/iX,
C/iX, Fortran/77 and HP Pascal/iX.
