No, it's comm software for linking a 150 to an HP3000. AdvanceLink is
an HP terminal emulator of sorts (let's face it, most of the terminal
emulation is in the 150's firmware) with a so-so scripting language
and upload/download capabilities. It came on more than one disk, I
think that is disk 3 of the set, and I think it's got the stuff for
uploading the HP3000 side of the file-transfer software to the 3000.

A little bit, plus you could use some of the generic MS-DOS software
that was suitable for the 150s on the 110 and Portable Plus. Once
upon a time, I was doing Pascal compilations on a 110 using the
Microsoft Pascal compiler on 150-format stiffies. (It wasn't a very
fast development system.)
