[Info-vax] How much of VMS is still in MACRO-32?

[John Dallman]

Out of curiosity, I took a look at the documentation for the MACRO-32
compilers for Alpah and Itanium, and started reading the VAX MACRO
instruction set manual. 

I now understand the 32/64-bit issues with VMS a bit better, but I'm
curious as to how much of the OS is still written in MACRO-32.

Obviously, this begs the problem of defining the OS, as separate from its
utility programs. Let's say "The stuff that's running once the OS has
booted and is ready to run applications, plus the programs that needed to
run to get it there."
