Sorry, John.  The "current release" referred ONLY to MANX, not to Lattice.
I am fully aware that right now Lattice is fully ANSI compliant and
therefore can avoid all the problems of argiument promotion.  The phrase
should have been something like this:

" MANX 5.0 library stubs will clearly be different from the current MANX 3.6
release. Lattice C already supports function prototypes in their current
5.0 release".

I apologize for the confusion.
