Wouldn't porting Bliss and Macro be some of the first projects as part
of a port of VMS to any platform ?

If VMS on the 8086 will have common source pool with Alpha, I wonder how
the engineers would be able to hide this from customers who buy the
source listings ? Wouldn't some interesting IFDEFs exist in the source ?

Or would they work on the 8086-only portions, such as early booting etc,
and wait for HP to make it official before they start to work on porting
code that appears in the Alpha source listings ?
