Does anyone know what Lattice's policy is on upgrades if you still have
the ORIGINAL first release? I switched to Aztec for a while, but since
following the newsgroups, I'd like to give 5.02 a try. If you've skipped
the multitude of bug fixes, patches and upgrades do you have to pay full
price (beyond my budget right now)? I don't mind paying for good
enhancements, but I very much oppose paying for bug fixes. Any info
would be appreciated. \_

Send them $100 and a Xerox of the original disk (or the disk itself, if you wish), and back comes 5.02 - a very reasonable price for what you get in the new version.

You should be able to get a substantial reduction over the full price, but keep in mind that you now get the source-level debugger, editor, text utilities and so forth as well as a MUCH MUCH better compiler (and global optimizer). I'm not sure what the upgrade price is, but call Lattice tech support and they can tell you.
