[Info-vax] Technical issues with VMS BASIC port to x86-64 ?

[Simon Clubley]

This is NOT a moan about how long it is taking for BASIC to appear,
and I would request people not turn it into one, at least in this
thread.

I am curious, at a purely technical level, about the issues that VSI
have encountered with porting BASIC to x86-64 VMS and what the issues
are, at a technical level, that is making the port of BASIC apparently
much more complex than the other traditional VMS languages.

Thanks,

Simon.
