As I recall Tektronix was one of four companies licensed by Xerox
to port a Smalltalk-80 VM to other systems.  One motivation for
offering these licenses was to help debug the writing in
"Smalltalk-80: The language and its implementation", where most
of the implementation part was about how the VM works and how to
write one.  Given that, it would be strange if the Tektronix
effort did not use a VM but instead ran a standard Smalltalk
image on bare hardware.
