Summary: Fixed in the 3.10 release


A couple of people have mentioned that they didn't like the way the
Lattice code handled putting the arguments into argc and argv. If
you have version 3.03 or below (Amiga C 1.1 = Lattice 3.03) then
your best bet is to get the new main.c module off the developers
"include" disk. (beta, gamma, release, doesn't matter) Or you can
hack the copy you have (it's in the 'source' directory on the Lattice
disk, I don't know where it would be on the Amiga C disk) 

One of the new features of the 3.10 compiler is that if you have been
launched (nice term) from the workbench argv points to the workbench
startup message. Also file handles (like stdin) are now Amiga Filehandles
and *not* and index into a table so you can't assume they are file
numbers 0,1,and 2 but you can use Andy Finkel's method of tracking
down the window that they are connected to and modifying it. 

Final note, for 3.03 and Amiga C users, if your code gets a recoverable
alert at startup under 1.2 check the c.a module is sources to make sure
it either clears D0 or sets it to LIBRARY_REV before it calls OpenLibrary 
on the Dos library.

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
