     I am having problems with the Lattice C compiler
accepting the program that is listed below. It
compiles and executes on a Vax unix system 4.2 but gives
the following errors on my Amiga. This same problem
occurs in version 3.03 and 3.02 of the compiler.

     Can someone see any reason why it should not 
compile on my Amiga?  I would appreciate any
help on this problem.

Regards, 

Norm Church
