Actually, if you owned the C/iX compiler, you could "upgrade/swap" for the
Posix developers kit. It was a no-(PURCHASE PRICE)-cost item... It DID
however (and still does last I checked) cost you an additional software
item on your software maintenance contract (i.e. you get charged support for
both C/iX *AND* Posix Developers Kit).

This double-charge was supposed to be eliminated with 5.5, but when I tried
to get it removed off our contract, none of the s/w contract people knew
anything about it (or nothing about the fact that the dup charge was supposed
to go away).
