The "You have mail" message is printed by /bin/login, not the cshell.  Thus,
you'll see the message if you rlogin to an apollo.  It might also print
the message in the DM output window if UNIXLOGIN is set at boot time
and /etc/motd is empty (I haven't tried it).

I re-installed the C compiler on top of an existing Domain/IX (both SR9
release) with no ill effects - The scripts appeared smart enough to
do the "right thing", and the documentation probably just assumes both
were shipped at once.

[Actually, there was one "ill effect" - the new C compiler's
/usr/include/math.h is missing a definition for "frexp", which somebody
here had added by hand to the Domain/IX version.]
