Sure it is C and they run both on Alpha and Itanium.

But the problem at this moment (please correct me if not true) is that 
for displaying they use DECWindows. I thought I read somewhere that on 
x86-64 this still is a dummy library which only is included to get no 
linking problems for programs that also have a text-interface I did not 
see in any of the road maps that this will be changed in the near 
future. Probably a X-server is not needed, but a client library would be 
welcome, so that we can display on a "remote" server (i.e. by tunneling 
via an ssh-connection)
