  Let me say this about lattice,  I have an original developers kit copy
of their C compiler which included several utilities.  I was attempting to
do some object file conversion with said utilities whe I discovered that
the filename I had given said utility was ther wrong one.  I aborted (ctrl-c)
and low and behold the bloody thing had written 0000 all over the root 
directory of my scsi hard disk!.  I formatted all the lattice disks and used
them as spares.  Never again will I execute anything that lattice produces!

  This is a personal opinion and should not be taken too litterally!
