What is the latest version of the Lattice C. I just received mine from Abel Supplies and the "latest" version they sent me is 5.0. I thought the latest version was 5.4. The Eelman jol@sei.cmu.edu

The latest version is 5.04a (the a update being available only though their BBS and is mostly just fixes in the LCM.LIB math library as well as for a floating point error in CPR. -- Christopher A. Wichura u12401 @ uicvm.uic.edu (my home account) caw @ jolnet.UUCP (my Usenet feed)

Or maybe it didn't install properly. You probably are experiencing the same bug I found in 5.04. It generated incorrect code for global statically initialized arrays. That is: char *fred = "abcdef"; main() { printf( "'%s'\n", fred ); } prints out '' (the empty string). Using CPR (which I thought was great!) showed that it was generating code using offsets from the LOCAL frame pointer (A5) instead of from the static base (A4). (I might have flipped the registers around - I'm new to the Amiga and its format) By contrast: char *fred; main() { fred = "abcdef"; printf( "'%s'\n", fred ); } works as does: main() { char *fred = "abcdef"; printf( "'%s'\n", fred ); } I have not been too impressed. Don't they run a regression test on all the software they release? Even their demos didn't work with 5.04! Pretty slipshod. My next biggest beef is the fact that 50% of my lookups in the Master Index fail. The documentation is not adaquate for the experienced programmer/novice amiga programmer - doubtless a frequent customer. Despising the C programming language and null terminated strings even more-so doesn't help my disposition.
