VAX vs Alpha compiles

[Hamilton, Allison]

The very early versions of PowerHouse that ran on both VAX and ALPHA OpenVMS
(well, to be accurate, it was just called VMS back then) had some
compatibility problems (PH 6.20 something).  But the problems were soon
rectified.  Certainly the currently prevalant versions of 710E1-4, 710F-F4
and 710G/G1 should be fully compatible between VAX and ALPHA.  

Though I wouldn't sign in blood over this one -- there should (couched in
the strongest of caution) be no problem moving the compiled versions of PH
between different versions of OpenVMS, certainly close versions.  In some
cases you can even move between versions of PowerHouse, but that would not
be supported, and would only work if there was no recompile required between
the two versions.  A recompile usually means that we changed an internal
format or setting.
