I recall JToebes saying something different than what Chuck does -
that you had to call the Lattice BBS and download the fixes. That's
SOP with me though, so I could be wrong.

Given this, what I suspect is that the patches will be on the LBBS
(which is SOP for Lattice), and sent to those who call in with
bugs/complaints that were fixed in that update.

BTW, JToebes also said that _all_ reported bugs for 5.02 had been
fixed as of the time he was at Badge. If you haven't reported the
bugs, you can only blame yourself if they aren't fixed.
