Rick, I ordered Lattice-C and will be getting it on Monday. However, I will also be hanging on to my Aztec-C because Jim Goodnow left me a message on the Manx BBS that the first update will include an Alink facility so that Aztec-C object files can be linked with Amiga Macro Assembler object files (you get 1 year of "free" updates with the commercial version of Aztec-C). The reason I didn't cancel my order for Lattice-C is that I need a printer driver for my Epson LQ-800 NOW! Text works fine with the Epson driver in Preferences but graphics do not (circles print out as ovals – due to the fact that the LQ-800 has a 24-pin print head). I am just learning how to program in C and 68000 Assembler — when I get proficient at C I want a good C compiler. Hence, my decision to keep my Aztec-C. Maybe somebody will purchase my Lattice-C from me after it has proven to be extinct. — Fred Kohler 75365,1460 —
