Some people at Hewlett Packard are willing to explore an updated "Non-Commercial Technology Enthusiast Software License" for older software products. == This is wonderful news. == We would also like to ask if anyone knows the date of release of the last version of HP1000 RTE == As of a few months ago, this was still on HP's web site. There has also been a release of RTE 6 to Interex (w/o sources though) RTE for the A series is a very different beast, and I beleive that was what HP was supporting up until a few years ago. There were many, many versions before that. I'd also be interested in their feelings about software from non-HP product lines that they've purchased. Apollo DOMAIN, and the various TI 9xx/1500/Explorer would also nice to be released.
