<Snipped>
3. Beta Systems said that they have been using C (or C+ or C++ or
something) for *years* *without* the need for LE. And I thought
*that*
was only available as MetalC starting with 1.10.
"Systems Programming C" (SPC) has been available as part of the regular
IBM C compiler for a long time now. You give up access to all LE
functions and limit yourself to a defined subset of C library functions.
The startup code is not dynamic and requires static links (so does LE
startup code...), but SPC is quite functional for some purposes.

Just to add to Peter's note... Dignus Systesms/C comes with its
own runtime which is non-LE (or, via a compiler switch, it can operate
compatibly with IBM's compiler.)
Also - Systems/C will operate in a mode _very_ similar to Metal C,
always has.
