	Lattice 3.10 plays with 1.2 just fine (I just finished a
short little program for EA with it.)  But, it still generates pretty
big code (although it does have the small code/data option now,
still not as good as Manx.)

	Jim Goodnow has posted on the Well that yes, he is alive and
well, and yes, 3.40 will actually be released Real Soon Now.  And
he promises miracles have happened with the debugger, as well as lots
more good stuff.  I know 3.40 works and exists, since several friends
of mine have beta copies they use frequently.  It also supports
structure passing and assignment, plus 68881, FFP, and IEEE
floating point code generation.
