| 381.1 | VAX Cross-Compiler for PC (on PC)? | XDELTA::HOFFMAN | Steve, OpenVMS Engineering | Wed Mar 26 1997 08:46 | 12 |
| : Looking for an emulator on PC that runs VAX's assembler.
: Is there shuch a product ??
Not that I am aware of. Have you checked the support and product
databases, as well as the search engines? (See note 10.* for pointers.)
(I can only assume you want a cross-compiler, as generating VAX native
instructions on a PC is neearly useless.)
There are/were OpenVMS cross-compilers that generate Intel code for
execution on a PC.

Or do you want a VAX instruction emulator to run on a PC? If so, what
is the problem to be solved?
I've never heard of such a beast and it would certainly run quite
slowly compared with the current generation of real VAXen.

| 381.3 | VAX/Assembler on PC | TAV02::KATZAV | | Mon Mar 31 1997 14:12 | 9 |

The customer is in one of the local universities. They teach VAX
Assembler, and practice on VAX 11/785. Since there is allways a long
waiting line they asked if there is a solution they can practice on
PC's which are more available.
Is there such a solution ??
Thanks,
Shimon.

You want a PC-based cross-compiler that generates VAX object code --
I am not aware of such a package.
I'd look seriously at upgrading that VAX-11/785 system -- your customer
should be able to get an ancient MicroVAX or VAX or Alpha system with
far more performance than that VAX-11/785 system. With that and some
antique DECservers, the site should be able to get a massive increase
in performance and capabilities, and will probably be able to afford
the upgrade based on the electricity and maitenance savings alone...
With a faster OpenVMS system, they can use the PC systems -- with the
Affinity Packages (Enterprise Integration Packages) -- as clients.
