S and Virtual Memory sort of go hand in hand!  We have S already and 
are very much in need of virtual memory to support it and other statistics
applications (e.g., GLIM).  Most porting problems with S, by the way,
seem to have more to do with bugs in the f77 compiler than anything else.  

[I'd be interested in any evaluative comments on the PE System V f77.  We
 are about to upgrade to System V or 4.2 and an f77 with fewer bugs would
 be a big argument in favour of the former.]
