depending on the line and with HPE as of today, July 5, 2018. There
is a COBOL 85 standard compiler for it and the manual is online. I'm
surprised that HPE/non-stop hasn't gotten a larger market share.

DEC completely forgotten?
I once read that HP was a printer company masquerading as a computer
company.

At least IBM have stuck with the mainframe. HP have buried their
technological history.
----------------------------------------------------------------------technological history.
In the beginning was Compaq, and HP was know for its excellent printers.
Then the printers went downhill and there was Hewlett PacPaq, although not
by that name. Wheile HP borged EDS, Dell borged Perot Systems. Oh, and TI
was somewhere in that saga. And oscilloscopes.

OK, kids, pay attention, because this will be on the exam.
In the beginning, there was Hewlett-Packard, or HP. And HP was formless and
huge, and darkness was upon the stock.
And the Board made a decision: split the company! And thus was born Hewlett
Packard Enterprise (HPE)-no hyphen, and please don't call us "HP
Enterprise", not sure why, even though some of the internal URLs were at

remained, as "HP
Inc." (HPQ), selling the consumer stuff: laptops, desktops, printers. HPE
took the "S" stuff: Servers, Services, and Software.
A few months after the split, HPE announced that they were doing a
"spin/merge": the Services were going to be split off and merging with what
was left of CSC, forming a new entity called DXC.
the Software was being sold off to Micro Focus.
So some folks went: HP==>HPE==>DXC; some went HP==>HPE==>Micro Focus; some
went just HP==>HPE; and some even stayed as HP the whole time.
Employee counts are maybe interesting-these are numbers I've seen, don't
HP originally: 300,000
HPE originally, after the split: 70,000
HPE without Services: 11,000
DXC: 170,500 (that "500" is oddly precise; with 170K, you'd think it would
fluctuate that much on a monthly/weekly/daily basis)
But HP now: 50,000 (a lot are missing, eh?)
Micro Focus now: 15,000 (including SUSE and HPE)
If you've been confused by all this, don't feel badly-the bloody trade
press
can't keep it straight, and that's their job! I've seen references to Meg
Whitman as being "CEO of HP" within the last couple of months, and yes, she
went to HPE. Like, two years ago. So there's no excuse for (them) getting
that wrong.
Thus endeth the lesson.
