Lattice C and SAS C are for the most part one in the same. SAS is the parent
company of Lattice and had themselves written the last two Lattice versions,
v4 and v5. SAS has since taken over the responsibility for the compiler and
has come out with a new release to v5 called v5.1. V5.1 gives a workbench
interface to the compiler plus compatability/includes for v2.0 of the 
Workbench. If you have the A3000 you probably want/need the v5.1, otherwise
you still probably want v5.1 but you wouldn't suffer with v5 from Lattice.
