Well, let's be totally honest here... the "obnoxious Lattice ads" are not
legally required; all that is needed is a short, simple copyright notice
that is printed out when you start up the program in the "standard way".
From what I've read, Lattice would not lose one iota of protection if its
notices were just one line long, and disablable by an easy, *documented*
command-line switch.

[p.s. This posting notwithstanding, I'm really quite pleased with Lattice C.]
