The early release notes I got for HP-UX 8.0 indicate that they are
unbundling the C compilers for the new release.  On the S800, the C
compiler has ANSI support, optimization, and debug (xdb) support at
HP-UX 7.0.  My release notes for 8.0 indicate that all of these things
are going away in the standard compiler.

Since I have been using the full capabilities of the C compiler for the
S800 since HP-UX 1.0, who is going to pay for this new ANSI C compiler
that they are offering it 8.0?  Am I going to have to pay for a new
compiler just to debug programs?
