Assuming that's a serious question (is it? really?), the answer is
a simple "no".  VAX binaries are different from Alpha binaries are
different from IA64 binaries (because the underlying architecture
off the three are so different from each other).  Period, end of
story.

Many (most?) VAX binaries could be translated to Alpha binaries
using a utility called VEST.  Many (most?) Alpha binaries can
similarly be translated to IA64 binaries using the analogous
Itanium translator (whose name escapes me).

I don't believe there was ever an Alpha to VAX "back" translator,
nor is there one for IA64 to Alpha (or VAX).
