The MPE/iX Developer's kit is 36430A.  There are options you add to get
credit back if you have the C/iX compiler (31506A).
 
If you tell me what system you want it for, I can give you the exact
option numbers and price.
 
The new November price guide is screwed up.  The options for getting the
credit for the C compiler are all there, but they are listed as upgrade
credits for the Developer's Kit itself, not the C compiler!  Based on
this, I suspect that it's not surprising that HP (who probably all have
only the new price list now) will not know what you are talking about.
 
The new price list also states that the purchase of the Developer's Kit
is *required* for C/iX (and MicroFocus COBOL too), which is probably
incorrect in the case of C at least.
