Lattice 5.0 is very impressive.  It also has quite a few interesting
bugs--not entirely surprising for a release this ambitious.  Lattice is
currently working on 5.01, which should be released in a week or two
(hopefully this isn't the usual computer biz "two weeks"), which will
be mailed to all registered 5.0 owners.  So get those bug reports in
NOW (if not sooner)!  If you have not reported this bug to Lattice
yet, please do so as soon as possible.

Lattice V5 with the bugs wrung out should be awesome (and this is not a
word I use lightly).  I've been encouraged by Lattice's rapid response
to the bugs in 5.00 that I've reported, so perhaps there is hope for
5.01.

>Where is grep.lib?

Someone forgot to put it on the distribution disk.  Lattice knows about
this, and will include it in 5.01.

Note that I have NO connection with Lattice, except as a owner and user
of their compiler.  I am merely reporting what I have read on their
bulletin board.
