Our group just brought up VMS4.4 on Microvax/GPX workstations. After
successfully completing the VMS C v2.2 procedure we started got an error
from the linker stating that it couldn't find the file SYS$LIBRARY:VAXCRTL.OLB
which it was told to look for by having defined logical LNK$LIBRARY.  This was
done according to the instructions in the C 2.2 installation guidebook.

It is my understanding that the files SYS$LIBRARY:VAXCRTL.EXE and VAXCRTLG.EXE
are put on the system when VMS4.4 is installed.

We have successfully used the .EXE files to run our C code by creating a file
named SYS$LIBRARY:OPTIONS_FILE.OPT in which we placed the single line:
SYS$LIBRARY:VAXCRTL.EXE.  Then deleted the logical LNK$LIBRARY via
DEASSIGN LNK$LIBRARY, and then used the linker command:
   LINK/EXEC=x  x.OBJ,SYS$LIBRARY:OPTIONS_FILE/OPT.

This however is just another solution. What I'd like to know is what happened
to the VAXCxxxx.OLB files?  Is there a difference in the file installed between
larger VAX and MicroVAX systems?  Further, Is there a command to given to 
create the .OLB from the .EXE libraries.

Your input would be appreciated...Thanks.
