This is terrible!  I cannot develop without the library sources!
I got the commercial version as much for the library source as anything
else.  There are *bugs* in them there libraries; with source, I can find
and fix them.  Without, I have to figure it out by disassembly.  Forget
it!  And there are *still* bugs in the 3.40b libraries.  I don't mind
paying $75 for the new upgrade, at least not that much, but $300 for
the library sources makes me want to get the new Lattice compiler.
Damn, I just checked, the library sources don't come with Lattice 4.0
either.  So now what?  I guess I just have to pray that they don't
change the libraries too much . . .
