Dave;
I had the same problem when I got version 4. (Big talk - I just got it
solved tonight!) VT100 was the first program I tried on it. I was NOT
favourably impressed!!!

The people on the Lattice BBS were helpfull, but they were puzzled also.
The fix is:

1> lc -r -b -Rvt100.lib #?.c
1> blink from lib:c.o to vt100 lib vt100.lib,lib:lc.lib,lib:amiga.lib

(nd and verbose are good options to use, too.)
I have no idea why using your own library works. I got the idea from
just trying to avoid blink as much as I could.

Ian.
