My experience, and I believe that of most people who have ported some
"foreign" program into VMS is that "one architecture first" indeed is
the best and quickest approach.  I do not know the intricacies of the
threading issues, but for most OS issues dealing with VAX-Alpha changes
is absolutely the smaller part of the task.
