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 
IMAGE database product.

The 3000 didn't offer an assembler.  :-)  The OS and a significant portion 
of customer software was written in SPL -- HP's Systems Programming 
Language.  It's similar to ALGOL but has a number of constructs that map to 
3000 hardware operations directly.
