There was a time when some felt that RSTS should have been ported, or 
re-implemented, on VAX.  After some work by VMS development in 
coordination with the RSTS community, that desire faded away.  DEC did a 
good job of giving the RSTS users what we said we needed.  This work 
gave me great respect for VMS developers.
