As noted in an earlier message to the list, the kit has a selection of
compilers preinstalled. The fundamental OS software also includes HP's

The 3000 didn't offer an assembler. :-) The OS and a significant portion
of customer software was written in SPL -- HP's Systems Programming

3000 hardware operations directly.
