	I thought Whitesmiths did have a non-EIS library. We have older than
current releases, but the -e of the second pass (p2.11) directs the code
generator to emit code for non-EIS PDP-11's (basically generates subroutine
calls which they include.) We have used the Whitesmiths compiler for projects
running on standalone Falcon's (11/21 SBC's) which absolutely do not have EIS.
	There are, however, other problems with their compilers, like no
multi-line #defines. But all in all a pretty decent product (at least it was
at the time, we bought our first 6 years ago).
