LC5.04 comes with the compiler, LSE, and codeprobe.
It also comes with some utilities like find, grep, "batch" and "extract"
(giving you similar stuff but more powerful that list lformat),
CXRef, diff, lmk (make), profiler, touch, wc, and "splat" (grep w/ replace).
There are many libraries for math and such and there is the GREP library
similar to but more powerful than the UNIX regexp library (take unix or
ados style wildcards).

CodeProbe is great. It also has a Rexx port, allowing things like
"single step until I've created any file in temp:" and lots of wack-like stuff.

BLink supports normal linking, creating resident programs, creating programs
that automatically detatch from the CLI, creating programs that catch
GURUs and write snapshots for later traceback-debugging (a la unix "core"
files), and comibnations of these. It also supports fairly easy 
creation of shared libraries (which I have not tried, but it looks
quite easy).
