It is indeed REAL NT .. put out by MS .. but its compiled for the Alpha
chip ... and only NT apps that have been compiled by the vendor to run on
the DEC Alpha port of NT will run on it .. so IntraBuilder will NOT run
...

Tricky question. Is this _really_ NT or some weird mix to make it work
on a Unix machine? If it is really NT, then you should be fine ...

I think x86 emulation is available on the Alpha version of NT.  It is
called FX32 and it converts x86 code to Alpha code as the program runs
and caches the results.

Ah, ok. I hadn't heard any details on this. You're right, Inprise
hasn't done anything to date in this area ...

This will be the way we go. But I've heard that only about 70% of Intel
Software will run with that emulation. Have you any results.

Has anybody tried to run IntraBuilder Server and BDE with that
emulation?
