As far as I know, nobody is working on a DEC UNIX/Tru64 port.
Anybody else know of one?  If not, I'd say "go for it!".

There are many ports now, so looking at the existing files should be a
good guide to what needs to be done.  Pick a UNIX port that is "close
to" DEC UNIX, and copy the files, and start from there.  The compiler
and linker will usually tell you 95% of the problems!  The rest of the
problems are usually due to specific platform issues, and you just have
to work through them one at a time...

Feel free to ask here for advice!
