But there is an IBM C compiler (done by Whitesmith's, I believe)
which runs under both MVS and VM/CMS.  There is also a compiler
from the SAS Institute (originally Lattice C), and again it runs
under both MVS and VM/CMS (you can even compile on one OS and move
the object deck to the other).  There is also the NorCroft
compiler from the UK (I can post the address if there's interest).
None of these is PD, nor even source available.  If you need that,
you could pick up a copy of the GNU C compiler GCC and have some
fun making it generate 4381 code...
