No, it has been ported.  I'm not certain, but I think the same kit files
(ROBOT018.A, .B, .C and .D) work with VMSINSTAL on all 3 platforms.  I
have a copy on disk that I just installed on an I64 rx2660 last week.

I think I loaded it from an Alpha LP CD, but I might have downloaded
it from somewhere at HP/Compaq/DEC.  V1.8 appears to be the current 
version, though it is about 5 years old.

I don't remember where it hides on the LP CDs, but I think it is in a
separate subdirectory under one or more of the Backup-related layered 
products (Saveset Manager [SAVESET*...], Storage Library System 
[SLSG*...], Data Cartridge Server Component [DCSC*...], or Archive 
Backup System [ABS*...]) where the precise directory name depends on
the version involved.
