Derek,

I just wanted to compliment you on your work with 
VOYAGER.  I abandoned my effort to port it to VMS when I
realized that there was a better solution.

I discovered that we (Digital Equipment Corp) have a software package
called SOFTPC (was VAXPC) which will allow your VAX to emulate a
PC/AT environment, with 80286 emulation and EGA graphics support.
I was able to run the self extracting archive on the first try, and
Voyager has been running fine.  Took a long time to transfer the
dump file from calculator (gads!), but so far I have been very
impressed with VOYAGER.

It makes it almost trivial to answer a vast array of the questions
regarding just what the calculator is doing.  In particular, I can 
now make more sense out of what the comments in you
internal list mean because I can easily see _exactly_ what
the code is doing.  Nice!

P.S.  Any chance we might see some STAR mnemonics in the future?
