 Does any one know of any products that allows pc's to make remote procedure
 calls on a HP3000?

 We are currently migrating our databases from Image and Relate to Allbase.
 Along with this we are switching to a Client/Server environment, and
 replacing our spl programs with Gupta's SQLWindows on the pc.  Our reporting
 programs, for performance reason's, are remaining on the 3000.

 What we like to be able to do is provide a single user interface for our users.
 Those users we have converted use SqlWindows apps to add/update data and
 Reflection for Windows or Business Session to log onto the HP3000 to stream
 jobs and print reports.

 At the very least we are looking for some means to allow our users to stream
 report jobs on the 3000 from a SQLWindows Menu.  At the other extreme we would
 like to be to invoke system intrinsics.

 Currently I have heard of 3 options.

 1) Create an allbase file that the SQLWindows app writes to and an HP3000 job
    reads from.  This seems to me to be some what of a kludge.

 2) Use WRQ's Reflection SDK to make remote procedure calls. (WRQ's SDK does
 provide a Windows DLL that enables users to make Remote procedure calls.)  The
 problem with this is that it requires that each user have a copy of WRQ's
 Reflection for Windows (Most of our users use Business Session).

 3) Use NetIPC to create the link.  Sounds good but I have no experience using
 NetIPC. Also I have heard that NetIPC is a dead product.


 Any suggestions?
