I not sure to post this in this news group but here it goes.

We have an HP 9000(300 series) machine that we want to use to
control instruments like spectrum analyzer, function generators etc.
I don't why but ordered Hp basic software to write program to control
these instruments.

i know we can write software in C for GPIB. But are there libraries and
stuff to write the programs in C for HPib. Are there companies that
sell packages to write these control progams in C language. Better
yet are there public domain software that do this.

I am asking this because we can very easily write software in C for 
GPib but are having a rough time to do it for HPib in HP basic. 
 
Appreciate any help on this subject.
