Summary: Can this code easily build a working 4.3bsd system on a MicroVAX?
Keywords: 4.3bsd,VAX,wuarchive

While skipping around wuarchive I decided to take some twists and turns
I hadn't made before and noticed the complete source tree for 4.3bsd-reno.
Now, I cd'd deep inside and noted the support for the VAX architecture
(KA630, KA650, KA820, and KA860).  Does the VAX code still work?  Can I
build a working 4.3bsd-reno system for my MicroVAX II or III (a II
is being upgraded with a KA650 shortly)?  If so, how do I go about
pulling off this big source tree and building it?  Can it be done under
ULTRIX 4.3?

Thanks for any help, advice.
