Hello again everybody...

In view of the tremendous help that I got with fixing the problem with MAIL,
I thought I would put up this problem for all you VAX gurus out there for
VAX C. The problem is as follows...

I installed VAX C, and checked everything was in the proper place. Sure enough,
everything looked fine. However, according to the linking procedure, a file
should exist in SYS$LIBRARY called VAXCRTL.OLB. This file is nowhere to be
found. It isn't mentioned as one of the files to be installed, but only
mentioned in the section that describes Linking. Ofcourse the linker needs
this file to Link any programs. Does anyone know anything about this? I wish
that DEC was a little more clearer in their documentation. Or maybe this is
some file that they forgot to put in the in instalation cartridge.

Also, in the documenatation, they say that if you don't want to DEFINE the
OLBs, then an option file can be created which has SYS$SHARE:VAXCRTL.EXE/SHARE
in it. Again, there is no such file (VAXCRTL.EXE) in SYS$SHARE. Where the
heck do they come up with this nonsense documentation anyway? I think a call
to them is necessary, but it is not in my place to do this. I've informed my
instructor (I'm only a student working on the VAX for an independent study
class), but he seems to be preoccupied elsewhere to do much about this matter.
Oh well, hopefully I'll get some help from you all again.

Thanx in advance.
