Indeed. I know that swaths of Sorcim SuperCalc and SuperWriter,
SuperProject, etc. were developed using a VAX 11/730 (I was offered the
system when CA bought Sorcim, but couldn't figure out a valid reason to
own a slow VAX). I suspect the cross-platform thing was an integral
part of much early PC software.
