SRI-WARF rejected this the first time around, for some reason.

From: obrien at RAND-UNIX
We have. We maintain the code for our PDP-11/34 front-end NCP
for our VAX under compat mode, running the PDP-11 compiler, loader and
assembler. Floating point doesn't work; everything else seems to.
(If the program you're running was compiled with the "-f" flag then the
fptrap package in the 11 code purportedly will work fine. We haven't
tried that. The FP package in the emulation control program does not work
very well at all. Luckily we don't need it for the front end.)
