I agree totally. I've owned Lattice since mid-1986 and although am very happy
with the compiler (more so now than 3.5 years ago) I've never felt comfortable
with the manuals. I feel like I know 'C' atleast well enough to use it, but
don't know the compiler very well at all. The manuals aren't as bad as 'IBMese'
type manuals are though.
