What kind of problem did you have with the Lattice 5.05 patches downloaded
from the Lattice BBS?  I just downloaded the patches last night and then
proceeded to patch the compiler and its utilities.  With some minor problems
(file protection/collisions with exitent files) I had really no problem
with it.  It was late when I was finished, so I didn't get a chance to test
anything more than exercising the `-v' option on each of the programs in
order to validate the revision level.  Am I going to be surprised when I try
to compile something?

Along a similar vein, I also have their C++, configured to be compatible
with the regular C compiler.  Do you forsee any problems there?

			Thanks,
				Al
