Will COBOL (C81) run on a regular 11, or does it need to be upgraded?

Hi... I'm seriously rusty on official RSTS installation procedures. I'm trying
to install DEC C using the C_V1_2.tap file from the bitsavers bits/DEC/pdp11/rsts
directory. It's actually a TPC file, in spite of what the extension suggests. Once I
supply the correct format, SIMH recognizes it and RSTS can see the tape contents.
Then I try @[0,1]install c81. Point to the tape, answer the destination, and then it
asks me for the "library" tape and complains when I give it the C tape again
(labels don't match).
So what is it looking for? Does anyone have the C installation procedure handy?

Never mind... (a) C81 is COBOL (!!) not C. And I found the C installation manual on
STUPI. Off & running now.
