...and I perpetrated a horrible hack which let me run unmodified Linux binaries on it.

(Seriously, it's a vile, vile hack, involving dynamically patching running binaries to work round Windows ABI differences and work around seg faults. But it works well enough to run a Debian userland.)
- kyberias 11y agoThat's an amazing hack! I've looked at that page a great many times over the years.
- cbd1984 11y agoSpeaking of vile hacks... has anyone here used Eunice, which allowed people to have a Unix (BSD-flavor) userland on VMS? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eunice_%28software%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eunice_%28software%29 Larry mentions it in the perl configuration file: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Larry_Wall#Configure https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Larry_Wall#Configure
- rjsw 11y agoI have used Franz Lisp on VMS that had been built using Eunice. I guess the Eunice userland may have been installed somewhere on the VAX but I don't remember finding it.
