Lattice Ships Free Compiler Upgrades ------------------------------------ Lombard, IL -- Lattice, Inc. announces that it will ship free upgrades of its Lattice AmigaDOS C Compiler to all registered users. All registered customers should receive a 5.04 patch disk by October 18th, 1989. "All registered users of the compiler version 5.0x, are being automatically sent Version 5.04," said Michael Napolitano, Lattice customer service manager. "Periodic free upgrades are just one of the ways Lattice demonstrates its commitment to our users. Lattice offers the most technologically-advanced products and many important programmer utilities bundled with the compiler. We also provide unlimited free technical support through a variety of means including our telephone hotline and 24-hour electronic bulletin board." Version 5.04 of the Lattice C Compiler for AmigaDOS includes more than 50 enhancements to the compiler, libraries, CodePRobe debugger, and utilities. The upgraded version also adds new features including allowing equivalent structures to be passed silently with the "-cq" switch; allowing more than 32K of code to be generated for a single source module; additional support for #pragma calls overlapping register variables; and support for the UNIX form of offsetof which casts NULL to the structure pointer and takes the address of the member. A READ.ME file on the update disk describes the changes and installation procedure. All problems reported and assigned Software Modification Numbers have been addressed. All registered users of the compiler will receive the 5.04 Patch upgrade automatically. Anyone who does not receive the upgrade due to address changes or failure to register should contact Lattice.
