Say.... Why are you guys BETA test sites for 1.2?  I'm jealous.
Actually, who cares.  The current operating system works fine.
When Lattice C makes their compiler faster, *that* will be news.
(And for all you developers out there, Becky says that 1.2 will
 be shipped out sometime this week or next week).

BTW, Does anyone know what parsing technique Lattice C uses?
I'm trying to figure out what the bottleneck is.  Perhaps the
code generation phase???  Will someone clue me in.
