How to statically link C run-time libraries .

[John Reagan]

One or the other.  Whatever is in the manual.

My point was that for C/C++ applications, you have to do something at compile-time AND at link-time.  For other languages, you can just redefine one of the *$LIBRARY logicals to point to older files and link.

So you can easily compile on V8.4 with the right __VMS_VER and __CRTL_VER, and link against the older [SYSLIB] and then take the .EXE back to V8.3.
