One minor comment here: Manx vs. Lattice, int vs. long. Maybe I needn't say
more, but I will.

Structures declared in the include files as having elements which are
declared as type "int" will have to be changed to "long" for the Manx
compiler. I would have to assume that this is included in what you refer to 
as "editing" the include files, but it is essential nevertheless.

Soap box time:
These days, I don't know of many (any?) machines for which a "long" is not
32 bits and a "short" is not 16 bits. Personally, I avoid the use of the 
"int" type wherever possible, and use one of the more descriptive
declarations. This even helps in moving code to such machines as
pee-cees (argh).
