Yes. ROSENCRANTZ was originally set up on a VAX-11/780 operated by the
late Paul Allen's PDP Planet, later Living Computers Museum+Labs. After
LCM was closed ICM took over the backup tapes and resurrected Rosie on a
VAXstation 4000-60.

I think the team that was implementing fig-Forth for VAX was looking
over the shoulders of the PDP-11 team.
