As for the Stratus emulator idea, I would be the last to discourage
someone to embark on this, but I'm mainly interested in bringing the
client back. Adding functionality via PL/1 is not my idea of a
challenge. More like misery....

Hey, *my* stratus code (stock quote system) wasn't bad (at least when I left
it). PL/1 isn't *too* different than C, but way more wordy. You can still
get in there and fiddle with the bits, no matter what a variable was declared
as.
Stratus VOS definitely isn't Unix, though.

Is there a Stratus simulator out there? Maybe this
is another project
someone can work on for SIMH.
As someone who was paid to move things _off_ of Stratus, I have one
word to that idea...
Ewwww!
