There are no new VAX, Alpha, or itanic chips.  They are DEAD!

If anyone was to put significant work into any of those three 
environments, they're probably also asking to be dead.  There is no 
known (to me) reasons for any such activity.

Now, with the common code base, if that continues to exist, some things 
done for x86 just might also work on itanic, and maybe Alpha, and never 
VAX.  Note, VAX does not share common code base.  If so, fine, and if 
not, too bad, run an x86 box.

Just to add my input to what others have already written, use VAX/VMS 
V7.3.  Anything else will most likely run into problems most of us have 
forgotten long ago.  (Says the bozo who is still using V7.2)
