Well, I don't have access to all of these systems, so this is a guess.  Try
the uname() system call and check the resulting structure.  If DEC
did a smart implementation, then the resulting information should tell
you what you need.  At minimum it should at least tell you if
your CPU is a MIPS or a VAX chip and the name and version of the O/S.
