One thing that is useful in GNAT is that to the maximum
extent practical, all DEC attributes and pragmas are
implemented on all DEC targets. This can be quite helpful
if your program makes extensive use of these special
DEC features. Similarly, there is an implementation of
all the DEC extensions to System.

Of course a lot depends on how much you have used VMS
specific stuff from Starlet. The less the better for this
kind of porting effort.
