Yes, the Programmer's Guide was written for Lattice (3.03) and I am now
converting the code to make sure it runs under Manx 3.6 and Lattice 4.0
for another 'official' errata.  The problem described here is almost
certainly the old 16-bit integer problem.  I have sent an EMAIL
message directly to the originators to explain what is going on
there, casting things to LONG and so on if using Manx 'cc mycode.c' and
'ln mycode.o c.lib'.  In the meantime, for simply TESTING the code, I'd
advise using 'cc +L mycode.c' and 'ln mycode.o c32.lib' and it SHOULD
get rid of most of the problems.  I had no access to the Manx compiler
at the time the book was produced originally, but I do now and will
fix it for the next errara.

For those of you who never quite noticed... there IS a coupon in the
back of the book that offers a source/object disk containing everything
that is in the book (and just a bit more).  Starting approx 10/2/88,
the source/object disk as sent will (hopefully I am alloting time
nuff) be fully Manx compatible (or if still problems, a README
file will show where).
