Calm down.  SAS didn't "just buy Lattice", they have owned it for years, and
have been involved in the Lattice Amiga C compiler since at least version 4.0.
They just brought the entire operation to the parent company with version 5.10.


In any event, until I see the reference, I'll continue to believe that the
above comment refers to the announcement several months ago, that they were
pulling out of the MS-DOS C market.
