I'm sick and tired of running this evil 3.0.  (Guess who doesn't have
an nlist() call, to the best of my knowledge?)  Anyway, what I'm looking
for is:

cheapest upgrade path: who's selling 3.51 + Dev Kit + manuals for the
  lowest price

Compatibility Caveats: I'm running a DOS-73, EIA/RAM (w/1.5Mb),
  VDI_Libs, and a few other neato things.  Is the object code (and
  associated libraries) portable from 3.0 -> 3.51?
  And, I'm using the OBM (kinda have to).

3.5 vs 3.51:  Is there a reason to take one over the other?  Is
  the 'c' fixdisk really going to happen?

executables:  I have RM-Cobol (from AT&T), and am wondering if it will
  work ok under 3.5+.  Same goes for Smart System, Franz Lisp and any
  other executables you can think of.

Um, email, I'll summarize, and it can be added to the "List of Commonly
Asked Unix-Pc Questions".  (Which we haven't seen in a while... :-)

thx
