Steve, No, it's definately not a re-release, and the SAS/C++ compiler did not start with the Lattice compiler. The Lattice C++ offering was actually done as a port of AT&T cfront 1.0 by a third party, and marketed and supported by Lattice. Royalties were paid to the third party. SAS/C++ is not dependant on cfront and was done entirely in-house at SAS Institute. Our new release should rightfully be considered a brand-new product. We do offer an upgrade from Lattice C++ to SAS/C Version 6.0, just like we offer an upgrade from Lattice C to Version 6. This will most likely continue. –Doug
