Yes.  On the LBBS it said that the FCLOSE.ARC file was for Amiga Lattice C
Version 5.02.  So, you want it even if you've already installed the 
5.0=>5.02 patch.  Also, remember to pick up LCMSR.LIB from the LBBS (or
maybe BIX ?) since they forgot to put that in the patch.  There are also
at least 2 header file bugs:

1) no prototype for rand() in stdlib.h
2) proto/icon.h (I think) says that AllocWBObject() returns a
   'struct WBObject' when it really returns 'struct WBObject *' (according
   to workbench/icon.h [I think])
3) proto/icon.h says AddFreeList() returns a long, but it is declared as
   returning a VOID in workbench/icon.h

I discovered the last two bugs when recompiling a program from Amigan A&J
called chatty.  I got Error 72's (redeclaration) for some things and by
eliminating proto files one by each, figured out where the error was.
