DEC had a project going to bring up Bliss on the 11 in native mode.  The
compiler worked, but for some reason (probably due to the internal politics at
DEC) it was never released.  The former project manager, Doug Sharp, still
works at DEC and, last I knew, still had a copy of the sources in his personal
archives.  Perhaps now that Bliss is being given away DEC could see it's way
clear to including the unreleased native mode version sources on the CD roms
for brave folks to bring up and develop.
