Lattice, Incorportated has announced Version 2 of its popular C compiler for the IBM Personal Computer and other computers using Microsoft's MS-DOS operation system. The new compiler enables C programs to access the complete one megabyte program and data space that can be addressed by 8086 and 8088 microprocessors. Four distinct "memory models" are supported, allowing the C programmer to choose the best combination of efficiency and addressability. The S and P models produce compact code that can address up to 64K bytes of data, while the D and L models allow access to as much as 1 megabyte of data. Program size is limited to 64K bytes in the S and D models but can be as large as 1 megabyte in the P and L models. Lattice's new release also provides complete support for MS-DOS and PC-DOS Version 2, the standard operating system for the IBM-XT. The Lattice C function library has been extensively improved to handle the new MS-DOS multi-level file directories and to be more compatible with the latest versions of UNIX. The new compiler is available for $500.00 from Lattice, Lifeboat Associates, or Microsoft. Users of the current compiler can receive a low-cost update by contaction the point of original purchase. Lattice can be reached at Box 3072, Glen Ellyn IL 60138 (312) 858-7950.
