- If only it were true that we had such forsight! The kudos really have to
- go to DEC for making VMS on Alpha so much like VMS on VAX. There were no
- structural changes to MultiNet on Alpha. The biggest change for us was in
- going to a different "C" compiler (we use GCC on VAX and DEC "C", aka GEM C,
- on Alpha).
