I'm with you. OS/2 is very heavily invested in the idea of a per-process

Hang on - are you talking about OS/2 1.x (80286) or OS/2 2.x (80386+) here?
Porting it to the VAX would be perfectly reasonable
technically, but idiotic
from a marketing point of view.
Well, quite. I don't believe it for a second, myself, but I'm still
curious to know what the tapes hold.
