I suspect that gallows have a specific kind of meaning in the VMS quite 
apart from their (typically ornamental) prior uses elsewhere.

In fact, ISTM that - purely from their shapes, and the frequent pairing of 
the f & p single-leg gallows - I'd predict that "f is to k as p is to t": 
that is, that "f...f is a split k" and "p...p is a split t".

What you can infer beyond that is another matter, but it's a reasonable 
hypothesis, right? :-o

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
