   I have not heard anything about DBL since 1-2-3 years ago it was   
   stated that they had no plans to port to VMS x86-64.   
      
   I assume that they still support VMS Alpha and VMS Itanium.   
      
   I don't even know if they use GEM, but given that DEC sold to   
   them in 1993 when Alpha existed, then it is a possibility that   
   they use GEM and could benefit of the GEM to LLVM + LLVM   
   backend, *if* they were to port to VMS x86-64.   
      
   Strategically I think Synergex is betting on DBL for .NET (so   
   a port of .NET to VMS x86-64 would get DBL).
