Is there any confirmation on this rummor?
I have spent a lot of time getting Lattice to be relatively bug free, and don't
wish to switch compilers now.

Does anyone have the address for HiSoft?  Are they American, or de we have 
to put up with the six week trans atlantic mail delay?

Last question:  is HiSoft V5 an upgrade to lattice, or just a replacement?  The
difference is obvious to those who have extensive private code libraries.
