All the programs I tried, my own, the examples from the Amiga Developer's newsletter and the ones posted on usenet, they all work fine with Lattice. NONE of them works with ANY version of MANX, using ANY menory model. Someone suggested to use +c and +D (large code and large data) but this did not make any difference. I left messages to Jim Goodnow at well!manx but got no reponse whatsoever. If you have problems with MANX and multitasking send him mail. Maybe if he gets a bunch of complaints, he might fix it. -- Marco Papa Felsina Software
