	The patches are available via the Lattice BBS.  They are
called amfix400.arc and amfix401.arc.  Instructions are available
after de-arcing.  I too never heard ANYTHING from Lattice about these.
I heard of the first when Bryce posted an announcement to the net.  I
heard of a second when a friend told me he had dloaded it.  So much
for Lattice's customer support (are you listening John Toebes?).
The patches also clarify and update the manual, which has some rather
important errors.  Also, it patches lc, BLINK, OML, maybe OMD (I don't
remember), maybe LC1 and LC2, as well as a bunch of internal files
such as some floating point routines and the stub routine and some
memory transfer routines.  I would advise that you get it.  If you do
not have a modem, call Lattice and I believe that they will send you
the patches for a nominal charge, though I may be mistaken on that.
