How does it compare to Ultrix 4.5 on the same system? Not that I've ever
gotten Ultrix up and running on my DECstation 5000/133 (it was purchased to
run NetBSD).

BTW, you've gotten me thinking, does Tru64 V5 support LAT? If so I just
might have to play around with setting up a spare box to run Tru64.
