However, it requires amiga.lib (if you want to do Amiga stuff).  Since
this is not available without spending money.  I used to have one on
my old Lattice 3.03, but I sold that and (foolishly?) erased all disks
that I had copies on.  I'm still looking for amiga.lib.  Does anyone
know the cheapest, easiest place to get one?

Another drawback, especially since the original poster said he was
using Manx, is that A68K can be hard to use with the Manx linker.
