Not necessarily. Lahey uses the OS/386 DOS extender instead of Phar Lap.

Only Lahey comes with the binder in the compiler/dos extender package.
Although it is the most expensive in all compilers, it does have an
unlimited runtime license. The others, like SVS and NDP using Phar Lap 
extender, will need to perchase a 1000 copy runtime license directly from 
Phar Lap in order to get the binder which costs $2,000, and you must fill 
out quarterly reports to the company to report how many copy you have used 
in the license.
