The VMS source license was on microfiche, more's the pity. It's still
in "The VAX Cave". You could get the source on mag tape, and you could
get a Bliss compiler ("Bliss is Ingnorance"), but they were too expensive.
I seem to remember it being a choice between Icarus and machine readable
VMS sources.
