The good news is that the more recent versions of the Lattice 'C' compiler were developed not by Lattice but by SAS's 68000 compiler group (John Toebes), as far as I know. The bad news is that apparently SAS made this move on the spur of the moment with out any plans on how they were going to support their product in the future. As happy as I've been with their compiler, it still might be time to try another one. :-( ---Mike, -- A man said to the Universe "Sir, I exist!" | Michael Figg DSAC-FSD "However," replied the Universe, | DLA Systems Automation Center "The fact has not created in me a | Columbus, Ohio sense of obligation."- Stephen Crane | mfigg@dsac.dla.mil CIS: 73777,360
