Hmm....I'm overcome with misty-eyed sentimentalism at the prospect of 
running a virtual VAX on my modern hardware and decided to look into 
this a little more...

It would appear you need to be a member of your country's DECUS chapter 
to apply for a hobbyist license and most articles online mention free 
membership if all you're after is the license but all the DECUS sites 
seem to have become Encompass now and are charging ~£50 for individual 
membership. Does anyone know if it's possible to get the hobbyist 
licenses for free anymore?
