I've found one (some time ago) called evax. I'm not sure how good it is,
as I haven't installed it. It's Free (speech), and I've put the tgz of
the source and a gzip of the PDF manual at
http://ox.compsoc.net/~dankolb/evax
The whole lot together is around 400k to download.

Sounds like a nice little task to turn this into a package for
pkgsrc - anyone up to the job? :)

Hopefully it should work under NetBSD without too much problem - it just
compiled fine under Linux (cd source ; make ; cd .. ; ./evax). It's a
console program, but I've got no idea what to type in when it runs
(maybe if I read the docs <g>).
I think it's just pure C code, so, anyone for trying/porting it to a
Vax? (Vax emulator running on a Vax; should be, er, interesting :).
