I am having problems with the Lattice C compiler
accepting the program that is listed below. It
compiles and executes on a Vax unix system 4.2 but gives
the following errors on my Amiga. This same problem
occurs in version 3.03 and 3.02 of the compiler.
Can someone see any reason why it should not
compile on my Amiga? I would appreciate any
help on this problem.
Regards,
Norm Church

I can't see anything right off. If it works with the vax compiler, then I would guess lattice's stdio.h defined some macro somewhere which you are inadvertently using as a variable (and it doing a macro expansion on it). At least, that is all I can think of. Lattice 3.03 has strncpy anyway. Also, if your intending to make yours compatible with Lattice's/UNIX, then you should check for source termination before 'n' is reached. QUESTION TO AMIGA PEOPLE: Just how fast are ports, send and rec. message? What is the overhead? -Matt

Did you get your 3.03 from Lattice of Commodore? --Bruce Barrett
