   My real VAXstation 2000 runs (walks?) VMS V5.5-2 with
DECwindows Motif 1.1 (?).  With only 6MB of memory, and a
none-too-speedy RD54 disk, it's a little bit slow to start up.
In an emulated environment with more memory and/or a
faster/bigger "disk", what could go wrong?

   VMS V5.5-2, the last of the V5's, has some features which
earlier versions lack.
