the answer to this bit of trivia?
No - Metal C generates assembler language statements; SPC C generates
object decks. I have no knowledge of how they differ under the covers,
but unlike SPC, Metal C does not support e.g. the "generate backlevel
instructions" options, and does support inline assembler statements,
so it sounds as though there are quite different paths, presumably
with some common code.

OK, thanks. One further clarification then: is SPC available
as part of the current XL C/C++ compiler, or is it a stand
alone product?
