I use the LATTICE "C" compiler version 2.0 and am very happy with it. The
compiler adheres to the Kernighan and Ritchie standard 100%. The document-
ation is fairly good and the support from Lattice is superb. Source code
is compiled in two stages. The first stage parses the source and looks for
syntax errors. The second stage generates code for the 8088. Linking is
done using the IBM Linker which is included with DOS 2.0.

LATTICE provides a debugging tool that will disassembler the .exe file
while displaying the source code that the 8088 instructions pertain to.
This is useful in that it shows how compact and efficient the code is
that the Lattice compiler generates.

I've been a very satisfied Lattice "C" user for quite some time. I choose
Lattice because of its reputation, level of compatibility, and support. I
think I made a wise decision. If you haev any specific questions concerning
the product feel free to send me e-mail.
