  Recent results on the hadroproduction of charm and beauty are discussed in
the context of the current theoretical and experimental status. The areas
covered include production of open charm and beauty particles and charm and
beauty quarkonia. Experimental results from both fixed target and colliding
beam experiments are presented and compared to theoretical predictions.
Predictions based on QCD perturbation theory are generally successful in
explaining the shapes of differential cross sections but underestimate the
scale of the cross section by factors of 2-3. An exception is production of the
vector meson quarkonia which cannot be satisfactorily explained by perturbative
processes alone.
