Hi!

The following Bochs description is from the Bochs website.

"Bochs is a highly portable open source IA-32 (x86) PC emulator written in
C++, that runs on most popular platforms. It includes emulation of the Intel
x86 CPU, common I/O devices, and a custom BIOS. Currently, Bochs can be
compiled to emulate a 386, 486, Pentium, Pentium Pro or AMD64 CPU, including
optional MMX, SSE, SSE2 and 3DNow instructions.
Bochs is capable of running most Operating Systems inside the emulation
including Linux, Windows® 95, DOS, and Windows® NT 4. Bochs was written by
Kevin Lawton and is currently maintained by this project.
    Bochs can be compiled and used in a variety of modes, some which are
still in development. The 'typical' use of bochs is to provide complete x86
PC emulation, including the x86 processor, hardware devices, and memory.
This allows you to run OS's and software within the emulator on your
workstation, much like you have a machine inside of a machine. For instance,
let's say your workstation is a Unix/X11 workstation, but you want to run
Win'95 applications. Bochs will allow you to run Win 95 and associated
software on your Unix/X11 workstation, displaying a window on your
workstation, simulating a monitor on a PC."

Does Bochs run on Alpha to emulate x86 in order to run FreeVMS under it?
Why not run FreeVMS natively or is it easier to develop under Bochs?

Thanks,

Bruce
