I'd appreciate any pointers on the > subject. I've been trying to figure this out for some time. I'm trying to get the Lattice compiler and programs it generates to run under the Beckemeyer MT-C shell. Because of Lattice's "taking all memory" approach, all Lattice progs crash the shell. I haven't been able to get around it. My current efforts are in the area of trying to build an alternate STARTUP.BIN. My fall-back position is to throw away Lattice C. > And while I'm asking advice on Lattice C, is there any special startup > module needed to link a program used as a desk accessory, as there > (apparently) is with other C's? You do need a special startup module. The latest version of Lattice supposedly includes one. ---------------- Jim Kaubisch, ----=---- ACSnet: whk@ausmelb.oz Austec International Ltd, ---===--- UUCP: ...!munnari!ausmelb.oz!whk 344 St Kilda Rd, --== ==-- ARPA: whk%ausmelb.oz.au Melbourne 3004 AUSTRALIA -=== ===- Phone: +61 3 699 4511 -- Jim Kaubisch, ----=---- ACSnet: whk@ausmelb.oz Austec International Ltd, ---===--- UUCP: ...!munnari!ausmelb.oz!whk 344 St Kilda Rd, --== ==-- ARPA: whk%ausmelb.oz.au Melbourne 3004 AUSTRALIA -=== ===- Phone: +61 3 699 4511 D
