In /comp.sys.hp/ anthony@nntp-server.caltech.edu (Lawrence Anthony) / asks:
| 2. Doesn't the base HPUX operating system come with a C compiler?

	Yes.

| If so, how is it different from the C/ANSI C compiler (B2413A) offered as a
| separate layered product?

	It's not ANSI C, doesn't generate debug info, other C development
tools are missing (I think this means things like lint, but what I'm reading
doesn't specify), it may not do optimization.

| If not, how does one recompile the kernel?

	It is sufficient to build a kernel, and for other routine
(non-programming) tasks.
