Has anyone gotten their copy of VC on Fish DIsk 36 to work? I am trying to run this program under 1.2 CLI with Popcli and Shell. I get a response indicating "No screen found or openable". Also does anyone have the source to this amiga port? Thanks for any or all replies.

$Well after working on vc for a bit: I got rid of the register declarations,
$and the errors went bye bye. The strange thing, though, is that every
$module of vc #include's "sc.h". In sc.h about 32K worth of variables are
$defined and declared (mainly tbl and some other stuff). I don't know if this
$happened to Manxer's but lattice was re-declaring every one of these supposedly
$global vars for each module.
The Manx compiler allocates space for global variables once even if
they're declared over and over, so this problem does not exist under Manx.
"I was stunned, I was dazed, I was TRULY amazed...", vc made, compiled,
linked with no warnings, errors, or anything, and ran fine, first shot.
I can't say I care for the program, although for the price :-) I'm not
complaining - it does do the job, even if the screen i/o is a bit slow.
