I have contacted Mr. Soley directly to explain how to use the compiler option
for the math libraries.  Thanks to each one for their suggestions!

Thanks to those who commented on my posting about this problem. Sorry about 
the mis-posting. Correction accepted and applied in the future. However in 
hindsight this may belong in comp.bugs.sys5 after all. It seems that
on the Tower XP the -lm option is sensitive about where it lives in the 
cc command line and the format of the other options present. This was 
unearthed after a long discussion with NCR software support. 

For example:
	cc -O -o outfile infile.c -lm       Fails
	cc -O -lm infile.c -ooutfile        Succeeds
