Scott: Only then would he *literally* be a vile and miserable wretch. <grin>. The fact you caught some typo "deserves" another anecdote. Last year, I audited a course in algorithms at Albright College, here in town. One evening there was a message from the instructor in my VAX mailbox. He advised me that I was the first person he ever chanced upon who properly spelled "Dijkstra", as in the Dijkstra algorithm, in the same sentence that had flubbed the word, "bubble", as in bubble sort. He thought that was funny as h…. Very much the wise guy, obviously. 😎 BTW and IMHO, they will get this taken care of to your satisfaction. I have owned both brands of compiler from the year one until versions 5.0, when it became a little salty to have both around just for reference. I normally muck around with the Aztec for reasons of convenience and because most available code *I* am interested in studying was written with the Aztec 3.6. Also, it served me as an assembly language study aid. Both outfits were slow but solid supporters. I must admit, I'm not blind to the number of revisions Lattice put out since their 5.0 was released, and I wouldn't like that either were I in your mocassins. Regards Tom
