As far as I know, it is NOT HP-supported. Some stuff, however, does come with
glowing recommendations from HP. Some of the programs are real third-party
products, and come with all the bells and whistles. For a copy of INTERACT (the
HP3000 users group magazine), contact:
 
   INTEREX,
   680 Almanor Ave,
   Sunnyvale, CA 94088-3439.


For the specific request you had for C compilers, assemblers,...:

The C compiler can be had from:

   Corporate Computer Systems,
   33 W. Main St.,
   Holmdel, NJ 07733-3302.

They also provide some Unix-like tools like Make, Grep, and a source-code
control system.

The only "assembler" on the hp3000, as far as I know, is the SPL compiler
(which has a fancy "assemble" statement). In general, avoid doing anything
in assembly on the 3000. If you *really* need to use the machine instructions,
or manipulate the stack (the 3000 has a stack architecture, if you didn't
already know), use SPL.
