SAS/C 5.10 (successor to Lattice C) does have the 2.0 compatibility
sticker.  In fact, any version 5.x Lattice compiler will run under
2.0, but 5.10 comes with the 2.0 include files.  The only 2.0 problems
the earlier version had was that LSE (the editor) didn't work properly
if the workbench had 8 or more colors, and CPR (the debugger) had
some cosmetic ugliness with its window borders.  The 2.0 include
files are important if you want to use the new 2.0 features, of
course, but the actual executables of the earlier version work
just fine.

I've had an A3000 at SAS since a month before the announcement, and
I've had one at home since a month after.  Commodore used the compiler
to compile Workbench 2.0 and various parts of hte system, and the
Software Distillery used it to compile the 2.0 DOS commands.  I'd have
to say it's pretty well tested on the configuration you will have :-).
