   Yes. ROSENCRANTZ was originally set up on a VAX-11/780 operated by the   
   late Paul Allen's PDP Planet, later Living Computers Museum+Labs. After   
   LCM was closed ICM took over the backup tapes and resurrected Rosie on a   
   VAXstation 4000-60.

   I think the team that was implementing fig-Forth for VAX was looking   
   over the shoulders of the PDP-11 team.
