Not quite true.

Lattice has an OS/2 C compiler. Its been available for the last 9 to 12 months.
(Thats NOT a typo.) It's the compiler that IBM has been using for more than the
last year to develope OS/2 code and applications. Hard to believe, but the
compiler was for sale BEFORE OS/2.

I haven't tried the product, I use their DOS C compiler myself.

Just a loyal, satisfied Lattice Customer...
