Ed: If you are suffering along with Lattice 3.03, then by all means please DO upgrade to 3.10. While the code size reduction with standard compile options is modest, there IS a new merged hunk mode for small programs which will reduce their size somewhat more. As far as the math support goes, it does appear to work with the new Lattice IEEE routines (which are allegedly 5-10 times faster than the old ones), the Motorola FFP routines, and the runtime Math Library on the Workbench disk. I say "allegedly" because we haven't used the math rout- ines extensively. I can say lots of stuff about the docs though. They're GREAT. At least, great relative to the old stuff! Then, of course, there's BLINK which you might already be using. Plus, an assembler, some Unix tools (Grep,Extract,Splat,etc..) that I've used and are handy. If it comes across that I'm happy with the product, then I'm conveying the correct impression. <wink> ab
