Certainly more than C. On Alpha only, C is being used for some of the
innards, particular for brand new modules. As far as _calls_ to the
operating system are concerned, however, the System Service Dispatcher
is written in VAX assembly language, on both VAX and Alpha, so that is
the language to which one interfaces system service calls. Since there
is a tight calling standard, however, it really does not cause trouble.
I find it hard to understand the tower of babble some other operating
systems have constructed through a lack of system-specific standards.
