There is close zero chance I'll ever use this stuff, unless I retire
to teaching in which case I'll make people write PDP-11 assembler.
But I had to come say thanks for doing this. The PDP-11 was such
an amazingly pleasant machine to program. I can easily imagine that
translating stuff from assembler to C is pretty straightforward.
RIP DEC, you brought us some good stuff.

7. Fortran
stuff had to be disabled as the Fortran compiler is written
in assembly language (IIRC) and would probably be difficult to convert
into C (but I don't think this is a big deal).
have you considered running Warren's emulator that can
run individual binaries (rather than emulating the entire
system)? This could let you use a few (or many, if you chose)
native tools in the build process without giving up portability.
