- of course. there are some differences building them (you use the
- linker options file instead of a macro module for transfer vectors for
- example).

-
- save for bugs, I'd expect that SYS, LIB and SMG to be compatible
- with the VAX side. There might be some wierd stuff that I'm not aware of,

-
- I suspect that your Digital Sales Being has access to TONS of stuff
- about porting from VAX to Alpha.
