	Well, guys, a quick look through the Includes and the Lattice
manual shows that the winner is...

	Michael.

	Charles had the right idea, which in fact was what I thought 
the answer was....When I saw the answer at first I thought that it was
because the #pragma libcall only specifies the register to move the value to.
Now I think it was done for compatability the code you compile using
Amiga.lib will behaive exactly the same as the #pragma libcall'ed code.  
However, that doesn't seem quite right, so my final guess is that the pragmas
were created using fd2pragma, and fd files have no concept of parts of a 
register.

	John?
