From: Billy <BRACKENRIDGE@USC-ISIB> We have a beta test site Lattice large model C. Everybody on the net seems to be giving Lattice a hard time so I thought I'd just mention that there is a large model Lattice C. As it appears to work OK I expect it should be announced pretty soon. The Lattice system allows various combinations of large and small address spaces. It is possible to limit code to 64K and use short calls while allowing data to exceed 64K using long pointers. They haven't yet figured out a way to have large program space and small data space as data pointers would be 16 bits and procedure pointers 20 bits. If you need a large program space you must also use large data space. One restriction is that offsets to pointers must be 16 bits or less. One thing I would like to do in C is upgrade Mince to take path names. Has anyone done this?
