} ULTRIX V4.1 (Rev. 52) DS5400 has many dangling symlinks in the cmplrs dir:

} Under /usr/lib/cmplrs/:

} [ Examples of unsatisfied Symbolic Link... ]

	These could be in place for the FORTRAN and Pascal layered
	products.  That's just a guess on my part.
 
} as2.1 is distributed as a symlink that points to itself; not very useful:
} 
} /usr/etc/subsets/COMU4BACKEND200.inv:0  5       00000   0       0 120755 3/2/90
}     200     s       ./usr/lib/cmplrs/cc2.1/as2.1    as2.1 COMU4BACKEND200

	Could be another hook for a layered product.  DEC C maybe?
	I don't know, I just sometimes use the stuff.
