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.
