I'm trying to compile a C program under IBM's C/2 but the libraries containing
the standard C functions can not be found.  I read that the C libraries must
be built using IBM's macro assembler before a C program can be compiled.
But the macro assembler is a separate product that must be purchased.
Why would they not ship the libraries as part of C/2?  We're speculating
that this is how IBM sells more software.  Does anyone have any ideas?
