        Running OpenVMS VAX
        and ULTRIX RISC applications on Alpha DECmigrate translates OpenVMS VAX and
        ULTRIX RISC applications into programs that run on Alpha! Regardless of the source
        language, you can run most user-mode, non-privileged applications on Alpha
        straight away  without disrupting your work environment and without waiting for the
        source code to be ported. 
        Two versions of
        DECmigrate are available:

        DECmigrate is a
        binary translator -- it converts a binary executable (that is, compiled) program for
        OpenVMS VAX or ULTRIX RISC on MIPS into a binary executable program optimized for OpenVMS
        Alpha or Compaq's Tru64 UNIX. To convert the code, DECmigrate works like a compiler: it
        uses the binary code for Alpha or MIPS as if it were source code and generates equivalent
        native Alpha binaries. The original and newly translated binaries are functionally the
        same, but the translated versions run faster, taking advantage
        of Alpha's superior performance.
