Named after the famed Rosetta Stone, which proved to be the key to unlocking the meaning of the hieroglyphics of ancient Egypt, Rosetta Store can unlock data stored in MPE-created (STORE or OBRiT) backup tapes or archive files and restore it onto HP-UX, Linux, or Windows systems. Rosetta offers a wide selection of automatic data transformations, including the ability to restore IMAGE databases into Eloquence databases.

Three classes of customers find Rosetta Store especially useful: Those who are in the process of migrating away from the HP 3000 and who require conversions of data to the new target platform; Those who intend to continue running their HP 3000s for the forseeable future, but need to transfer data on a regular basis to another platform; and, Those who need to gain access to archival data stored on legacy MPE backup tapes after they have retired their HP 3000s.

Rosetta Store is currently shipping on HP-UX.

Rosetta Store for Linux and Rosetta Store for Windows are in development.

For more information on Rosetta Store, follow this link to our distributor Orbit Software.

DBCSV can extract data from your IMAGE/SQL database and export it in comma delimited format (often called ".csv" files).

DBHTML can generate descriptions of your IMAGE/SQL database in three formats: HTML, XML, and simple ASCII schema. The HTML output is fully internally hyperlinked, and can contain links to user-provided documentation for every set and item.

DiskPerf

DiskPerf performs performance characterizations of your computer's I/O system and attached disk drives and related storage subsystems. It tells you how fast your disks are, how fast your system can transfer data from them, and just how well those fancy disk arrays are actually performing.
DiskPerf is available for HP e3000 (MPE/iX) and HP 9000 (HP-UX) systems.

Allegro now offers professional support for the GNU Compiler Collection on MPE/iX, including the GCC C and C++ compilers. If you are using GCC on MPE/iX and want a source for assistance and problem resolution, or if you just want to support the porting and enhancement of free software the HPe3000, we can help.

HourGlass is a date/time simulation tool, with extensive support for the testing of batch and on-line application programs with future or past dates and times. HourGlass is available for HP e3000 (MPE/iX), HP 9000 (HP-UX).
Please note: HourGlass for RS6000 (AIX) systems is no longer available or supported.

INTRINS/iX is a package of "MPE intrinsic look-alike" routines for use on various Unix/Linux platforms, including HP-UX.

By simply recompiling your SPL code into Native Mode SPLash! code, you gain the immediate performance improvement that rewriting your code in another language would give you, but without introducing new bugs or making a large investment in programming time. We have SPLash! compilers for both MPE/iX and HP-UX.

TAPEDISK copies an arbitrary tape to disk (optionally compressed) and, later, back to a new tape. TAPEDISK also includes TAPETAPE, a direct tape to tape copier. Additionally, some products from Allegro and other vendors can read the TAPEDISK on-disk tape image as though it were a physical tape.

WIPEDISK erases ("wipes") disk drives on MPE/iX and MPE/V systems. The erasing can be quick (one pass), or security-agency thorough.

WipeDisk/UX erases disk drives on HP-UX systems.

X-Over (pronounced "Crossover") is a media conversion utility which understands the details of the MPE/V and MPE/iX :STORE tape formats and is consequently able to convert back and forth between many-reel low-density formats and few (often one) reel high-density formats.

Currently, X-Over will copy from, to and between 9-Track reel to reel tapes (1600 bpi and 6250 bpi), DAT/DDS 4mm cartridge tapes, DLT tapes, Exabyte 8mm cartridge tapes, and 9144 cartridge tapes.

Allegro Consultants, Inc., offers a data recovery service where we attempt to recover files from damaged STORE tapes. We support both MPE/iX and MPE V STORE tapes.
