Re: Cleaning up DEC-C includes

I seem to have mismatched version of the C compiler includes on my nodes.
This is on a node that used to have VAXC. But I have eliminated the
VAXC$COMPILER as well as changed the CC command to one which was on a
node which never had VAXC (to eliminate the VAXC option).
But I find out that I still have some vaxC stuff:
$ dir/nohead $disk1:[vms$common...]starlet.h
$DISK1:[VMS$COMMON.DECC$LIB.REFERENCE.DECC$RTLDEF]STARLET.H;1
$DISK1:[VMS$COMMON.DECC$LIB.REFERENCE.SYS$STARLET_C]STARLET.H;1
$DISK1:[VMS$COMMON.SYSLIB.VAXC$INCLUDE]STARLET.H;1

(this, on top of all the .TLBs which have copies too).

Is it OK to delete the whole SYSLIB.VAXC$INCLUDE directory and all the
files in it ? They seem to be very old ???

The DECC$LIB.REFERENCE files are the files extracted from the *.TLB files at
compiler installation time, optional, and for reference only.
DECC never uses them unless explicitly asked to (via /INCLUDE or some
DECC$*INCLUDE* logical).
You can safely delete all of them (and re-install with a newer compiler version
if You wish).

The VAXC$INCLUDE files can probably also be deleted since You removed the VAX C
compiler (but I no longer have a VAX to test it ).
