This is probably something _really_ simple, something I may even find
if I poke around some more this weekend, but considering the
importance and the impending weekend, you can imagine why I might
ask here :-)

I recently upgraded my 4d/310 to 4.0.1 and then to 4.0.5  In the
process, my outgoing mail won't, but that is minor compared to having
lost my C compiler --- I can find the cpp, the lib's, the includes,
but nothing resembling a compiler :-(  When I run 'versions' I see
C listed in the list of installed items, and on checking on another
IRIS, I found 'cc' was a softlink to a file named 'device', but again,
in the wake of this upgrade, I can't find anything even remotely
similar to link to 'cc'.

Is it possible 'versions' is mistaken?  How does it know what is
installed?  The big question is "Where is cc or how do I find it" but
since this group does not abound with this question, maybe a more
sensible question might be, "How might I find a lost cc?" or simply
"which manual covers this sort of thing" ;-)

My apologies for grabbing bandwidth for such trivialities, but any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
