Emerald was just a code name for some OpenVMS release (I forget which number 
it became).

I was the owner the Macro-32 compiler for many years.  Me and a few others 
did the Macro-32 compiler for Itanium.

Since a large portion of OpenVMS is in Macro-32, you'd need some form of 
compiler to generate the x86 code.  Unless I've been brainwashed into 
forgetting that I did that work [insert favorite conspiracy theory here like 
Hoff copying the source tree one late night in the basement of ZKO], we had 
no Macro-32 compiler that generated x86 code.
