Well there are several problems with Vt100 2.7 and Lattice but this one was
new to me. Did you edit the include file vt100.h and set LATTICE to 1 and 
MANX to 0? 

For those of you who are working on it, I made a whole bunch of cosmetic
changes to keep the 'Return argument mismatch' errors down to a minimum
and added a prototypes file for all of the Vt100 functions. Anyone who
wants these changes feel free to send me mail. Note that due to the 
'legacy' of how Vt100 came to be there are a lot of fundamental design
problems with it that need addressing. [I have been building a list of
those too :-) ] But it does work and that is something that is often 
more valuable than cleanliness.
