IBM on z/OS does that too. It is LE. For better or worse. I am fairly sure that all the current IBM compilers on z/OS use LE as their run-time. COBOL, C, FORTRAN, and PL/I all do, I'm certain.

That way ISV vendors (or the base OS vendor) don't have this kind of problem. Paying to create, free to use always seemed like a good compromise to me. -- db (PS - at least one required system utility is written in each language to force the marketroids to continue this policy. Score one to the Visigoths.)
