It turns out that was partly by design.  Recently I was reading an
interview with Ken Olsen that I hadn't seen before.  In it he was
saying that particularly in the early days DEC made a point of
avoiding government, especially military, contracts.  All of the
special accounting and record keeping that was required was
more trouble than it was worth.
