What I'd really love to see is similar efforts for
RSTS/E and VMS.
As far as VMS goes, do you know about
http://www.vaxhaven.com/CD_Image_Archive
He has copies of most of the DEC Software Product Library CDs for both VAX and Alpha. The
SPLs contain pretty much every product DEC ever made for that platform. Most of them of
course will require a license PAK. There are a couple of images of the freeware CDs there
too, but for some reason he doesn't have all of those.
FWIW, there is an APL for VAX/VMS too; it's in the 1994 VAX/VMS SPL (but I've
forgotten which CD - sorry). I installed it on LEGATO just for fun and it seems to work -
at least it passes the IVP - but I don't know enough APL to get it to do anything
meaningful. It does know how to download the special fonts to a VT2xx or later terminal,
or to the DECwindows or VWS terminal emulators too.
