/* ---------- "VAX Memory Test" ---------- */
I would like to get (adapt, or write) a memory test routine for
a VAX-750 or a VAX-780.

I want it to run under UNIX, and if it crashes the machine when it
runs and encounters a hard error that is OK (because I would normally
run it only when there was a hard error present).

It doesn't need to print out any extra messages, because the kernel
should print out an error message when it encounters a memory error.
However, I wouldn't complain if it did print out it's own messages.

This should be pretty simple, but I don't really know how to go about it.
If I have to write it myself, I would appreciate any hints or advice.
Any references to writing VAX assembly code would be appreciated (especially
if I am likely to find it in our library), and also any help in imbedding
such a program in a C program would be great, too.

Maybe there are some tools like this available, if so, please let me know.
