I had a little problem with vt1002.6 and Lattice 3.10 some time ago and this might well be the same. In the emulator source there is a function called dopen and one called dclose. Functions with the same name exists in the link libraraies so they are multiply defined. BLINK didn't warn me so the thing crashed. I fixed it by insertingn the following lines into vt100.h #define dopen xx_dopen #define dclose xx_dclose Then it worked

It used to be that Manx and Lattice were close enough together that it worked for either compiler but I guess that has changed. Some of my beta testers do, however, and I'm going to ask them to try to "lattice-ize" it for me. }-- Richard } {tektronix,dual,sun,decvax,...}!ucbvax!ernie!carlson } carlson@ernie.berkeley.edu -- Tony Sumrall acs@pccuts.pcc.amdahl.com <=> amdahl!pccuts!acs [ Opinions expressed herein are the author's and should not be construed to reflect the views of Amdahl Corp. ]
