The DECUS C Compiler (11-SP-18) is really a PDP-11 C compiler
that runs on the VAX in compatibility mode.  There is no support
whatsoever from DEC for this compiler.  The DECUS Structured Languages
SIG is the focus for bug reports on this compiler.  It is distributed
in source form, and the user is expected to be able to support it
himself.  If this is sufficient for the original application, then
that's just fine.  I believe the charge for the magtape from
DECUS is about $160.  I use this compiler all the time on my RT-11
system and I think it's just great!

VAX-11 C, however, is a native-mode compiler which is sold and
supported by DEC.  I believe the binary license fee for that compiler
is in the neighborhood of $6000.
