Just a quick question about the Lattice C compiler, me being pretty
ignorant of technical details. I'm writing a colour font editor at
the moment, and added an extra menu option a couple of days back.
Up to then, my compiler command went lc -L -cist FedUP.c and all
went well. However, I suddenly got the message from BLink "(some
variable) range > 64k. Try -b0 on LC". Fine, I looked up -b0 and that
changes 16 bit addressing to 32 bit. I can handle that. However, when 
I stuck the -b0 in, I STILL got an (albeit different) message like
"Symbol _IntuitionBase out of range. Try -b0 on LC." So I tried
sticking permutations of far and external around my IntuitionBase 
definition to no avail. I solved the problem finally by changing
-L to -Lt which means (and I'm none the wiser) use a smallcode and
smalldata model. Can anyone explain what the problem originally
was and whether my solution was the "right" one. Cheers :-)
