Hi folks,

	Yesterday, I noticed that there are a lot of object files in
/usr/sys/MIPS/* and /usr/lib/cmplrs/*.  Since there seems to be source
code for each of these objects (at least the subset I've looked at 
so far), do I need to preserve the *.o files?  Are they just leftovers
from the system installation, or does the system actually refer to
them at some time?  It would save a lot of space if I could safely
delete them.  

	By the way, I'm running Ultrix 4.0 on a DECstation 3100.

				Thanks in advance,
				Bryan.
