Big thanks to:
"Dr. Tom Blinn, 603-884-0646" <tpb_at_zk3.dec.com>
Paul A Sand <pas_at_unh.edu>
for blazingly fast (like 5 minutes!!!) and great replies.
Here is my original, followed by Tom's response which was the same as
Paul's with extra stuff! The answer was as I feared... in the subset on
the medium I don't have! I should get a new dist-cd in the next week or
so. Thanks a ton!

It's in the programming support subset, OSFPGMRxxx, as you can find this
way:
pc164lx (root) # grep ranlib /usr/.smdb./*.inv
/usr/.smdb./OSFINCLUDE425.inv:0 1633 09442 3 4 100444
12/29/97 425 f ./usr/include/ranlib.h none
OSFINCLUDE425
/usr/.smdb./OSFMANOS425.inv:0 918 37497 0 0 100644
11/10/97 425 f ./usr/share/man/man1/ranlib.1.gz none
OSFMANOS425
/usr/.smdb./OSFPGMR425.inv:0 17 00000 0 0 120777
12/29/97 425 s ./usr/bin/ranlib../ccs/bin/ranlib
OSFPGMR425
/usr/.smdb./OSFPGMR425.inv:0 3027 48029 3 4 100755
12/29/97 425 f ./usr/ccs/bin/ranlib none OSFPGMR425
The include file for it is in OSFINCLUDE, the reference page is in OSFMANOS,
and the binary itself is in OSFPGMR. These are all, I believe, optional, so
you need to check your system (with setld -i) to see if they're installed.
