I am the chairman for INTEREX's HP9000 Contributed Software Library.  We are
in the process of producing our first CSL tape for distribution to all
INTEREX members registered as 9000 users.  Besides submissions from INTEREX
members, there is a large collection of goodies from HP, WITH SOURCES!!  With
the software merger of the 500 and 800 series machines, this means a large
selection of this software will run on both machines and "should" run on
most 300(UNIX) machines as well.  It is planned to release this tape with
at least 100 contributions on it, including system utilites, handy scripts,
graphics programs, database utilities and much more.

We are also soliciting additional contributions for inclusion on this and
future tapes (hint....hint...:-}).  It is our plan to release a new tape at
least once a year, plus produce a swap tape at each INTEREX conference (which
we did for the first time at last years Orlando conference).

Further information can be had by contacting the INTEREX office at:

680 Almanor Ave.
