I'm a little curious about how Lattice is selling C++.  When I 
talked to them on the phone, I was told that C++ included the
4.0 C compiler and was a $300 (list) product.  The guy said that
to get C++ with the current compiler you had to purchase them
both separately ($300 apiece) but that they would take $100 off of
the compiler price if you bought them both for a full retail price
of $500.  Who buys retail?.  Looking at mail-order ads, I find that
they are asking ~$160 for the 5.0 compiler and ~$320 for C++. 
I'm confused.  What would it _really_ cost me (mail order) to have
Lattice C++ with the 5.0 compiler?

Is it any good?
