	I have a strange problem installing the new Lattice C compiler on my
65meg TCT hard drive. ( I have a 520STFM expanded to 1meg).

1) If I do a minimal installation (about 1.5megs) Then everything is O.K

2) If I go for a full istallation (5meg spread over 7 DS floppies) Then I get
  strange errors like the program LC.PRG is unable to create intermediate files
  and GO.PRG,LC2.PRG and CLINK.PRG crash with various amounts of bombs. 
  Recopying the files from the floppies seems to cure the problems, but it then
  has errors linking (I think the floating point library is corrupt). 

    Could the problems be due to the 40 FOLDER BUG??. I'm running ICD BOOT 
  v4.6.0 which says it includes a fix for this and I set the number of extra 
  folders to 200. 
    if I run DLII it reports no cross linked or lost sectors but does complain
  about the directory structure being bad. DCDEMO.PRG complains about garbage
  characters at the end of the directory tables. 

  Does anybody have any experience with Lattice C v5 or ICD's software v4.6.0
  and could some kind person mail me a good description of the 40 folder bug.

	Thanx in advance
