The VAX 11/780 is a 32-bit machine. Nuff' said.

Many thanks for this tagline to a fellow RGVAC'er...
way so that
some of the programs I tend to write would work. I guess you're
going to try to make a FreeVMS for VAX clone, emulating 64 bits on a 32 bit
machine would be a project killer from the start.
Weren't there vaxen that didnt support the 64bit instructions? From
reading (excessively) the VAX Architecure Handbook, I seem to also
remember it saying that the address space was only 32bits. I could easily
be wrong, and it woudn't suprise me too much. Anyways, FreeVMS on a Sun
Enterprise 10k (or S/390 -- zSeries) would be cool, if not horribly wrong.
:P
Personally (as I stated in my original post) I don't know much about VMS,
yet, I was just trying to throw some ideas off the top of my head.
