Sorry, but Lattice WAS showing their SDB for Lattice.  I didn't write
about it before since I didn't get a very good look at it and don't
have much experience using debuggers (except for the useful
printf...).  Anyway, I saw John Toebes sitting there and not looking
busy so I asked about Lattice 5.0.  It is due out in the fall and
will include the new SDB free of charge.  The user interface looks
excellent.  The thing is fully intuitionized with multiple windows
and full menus for everything. Rather than giving an incomplete list of
what it does,  I'd recommend contacting Lattice for full details.
All in all, I'd say I was very impressed with what I saw.  I can
hardly wait for my upgrade notice!

Oh yes...  Lattice 5.0 also will include a global optimizer.
Sounds nice, huh?
