The last Freely Redistributable version of Blink is the 6.7 release that is
available on our BBS and is shipped by several vendors (Inovatronics CAPE
comes to mind immediately).  Lattice acquired the full rights to Blink from
the Software Distillery just before the release of the Lattice C 4.0 compiler
and owns the complete rights to the source and support for Blink.  Since
that time, Lattice has made many improvements to Blink including overlays
and indexed libraries.  The story of the aquisition of Blink is actually
somewhat amusing since I had to negotiate with the Distillery to obtain
Blink for Lattice (can you say 'conflict of interest'? :-)
