 Ah. So it was rewritten for Itanium instead of being AEST'ed.
 I wonder whether it was because someone at HP decided
to do the right thing or because AEST couldn't handle
it.

I am not aware of an attempt to AEST it; it was rewritten
by Walter Breu (sp?) of HP Germany.  He was not in VMS Engineering,
so I wasn't paying a lot of attention when he was doing the work.
Pretty sure it was part of the "get rid of all PL/I" initiative.
