    I have a bunch of questions, and any answers would be greatly
    appreciated.  I'm using a 512K Amiga (Great machine, guys!), 2 disk
    drives (actually 3 if you count the 5.25"), and Lattice C 3.02.


1.  First off, I was trying to use the Motorola Fast Floating Point
    library a couple of days ago, and found I was missing the files
    "mathlink.lib" and "mathlink_lib.lib", so I have no way of linking to
    the library routines.  The question :  where can I get these files?
    I've already checked with two dealers in the area, and they don't have
    them.  (The salesman didn't even know what the MFFP was.)  Just out of
    curiosity, where were they supposed to be, if anywhere?  Would it be
    possible for some kind soul mail them to me, or would this action
    bring the Net Police and the phone cops down on (me/us/everyone)?

2.  A related matter, what happened to DiskEd and ATOM and such things?
    Shouldn't they have come with Lattice C?  Or are they only for
    registered developers?

3.  Does anyone out there have a spare handler for the 5.25" disk drive,
    i.e.  one that would allow me to use it as an AmigaDOS device?  I've
    read the relevant sections of the RKM, but I thought I'd check before
    reinventing the wheel.  How about any information on using the thing to
    read other disk formats?

4.  Does anyone have any information about 3.5" disk formats more detailed
    than is found in the technical reference?  (Where on the disk is the
    root block located?  What are the actual values of the block Type and
    Secondary Type?)

5.  Does anyone out there have any documentation for microEMACS v 0.7?

6.  Has anyone tried Turbo Pascal yet? What's the verdict?

7.  Finally, what is Lattice's upgrade policy? (Who do I write to and how
    much will it cost me?)

Again, any answers would be very much appreciated.
