| 4223.1 | not lattice anymore | SALEM::LEIMBERGER | | Thu Oct 25 1990 08:51 | 10 |
| Lattice C is not actually Lattice C anymore. A short time ago SAS took
over complete responsability for this compiler. The only version that
they will be supporting is 5.1 . This version has many improvements,
workbench support,faster blink,2.0 includes,and more. I'd return it to
the dealer,or caa sas asap. They may forgo the 40.00 update charge if
you explain what has happened. (just purchased) It is a shame some
dealers don't make an attempt to keep current on the software,of course
if you go mailorder you get what you pay for. The phone # for sas,and
all the info needed is in a prior note. I am not sure which it is so
search for SAS.

| I never answered you original note! Some of the lattice stuff that had
been patched displayed the different version #'s because the patches
applied only to the object modules being patched. I noticed this when I
blew away my compiler,and was rebuilding it.

| 4223.3 | Free upgrade? | TLE::RMEYERS | Randy Meyers | Thu Oct 25 1990 18:49 | 11 |
| Re: .1
I don't think returning the C compiler is needed. Lattice (presumably
SAS also) has the policy that if you buy the previous version
of the compiler and a new version comes out within the warranty
period, they will ship you the update for free.
Call the SAS support line immediately to see what your rights are.
If SAS will do a free upgrade, get dibs on it immediately. Otherwise,
figure out if returning the old compiler and buying the new one is
cheaper than upgrading what you have in hand.

| 4223.4 | V5.1, wow, news to me | AUSSIE::BAKER | Everything is mutable,in its own way | Thu Oct 25 1990 21:40 | 11 |
| I'm registered with them and I havent heard a word about V5.1, is it
recently announced?
I believe Lattice were with SAS corp. when I was still receiving the
updates ect., so has anyone noticed a major change in
support/notification policy? Since the release of the V5.04 patch?

| 4223.5 | Bad disk from Lattice | AISG::LANDINGHAM | Guy M., DLB5-3/E5, 291-9268 | Fri Oct 26 1990 11:31 | 3 |
| And, at one point, Lattice had shipped out some disks containing programs with
incompatible versions (I got one of them) that just wouldn't work. They were
very good about sending me a corrected version disk.

| 4223.6 | thanks for the help | GIDDAY::ROMANI | Don't turn it off yeettttt!!!!!. | Sun Oct 28 1990 19:29 | 8 |
| thanks for the answers I assume the problem is just that it is justed a
patched version and I should assume V5.05 and watch out for known bugs
with that version.
BTW I will be sending in my form in to become a registered user asap to
SAS (I assume I will ignore the address saying send it to lattice.
