compiler, it would be nice to see if my ideas would work and to get a feeling for the performance.

I haven't heard of anybody using GPC on a HP3000. Maybe you can find a GCC
binary at the HP-UX Porting & Archive Centre [hpux.csc.liv.ac.uk]
You could use that to bootstrap your own GCC (and GPC) You must have the C
libraries and header files to do this. Unfortunately these are
often part of some "development package" which also includes the compiler
itself...

If you have the libraries & headers, but can't find a GCC binary, it is
still possible to bootstrap from a different machine, but that's a
non-trivial exercise.
