Look on page 7-3 of your Lattice 4.0 manual, in the explanation of the "Not Enough Memory" compiler error. It says that in the event of this error, try 'LC -B foo' to get the "big compiler." This is the ONLY place in the manual where the flag is mentioned. Furthermore, the tech fool on the phone confirmed that the option is supposed to be there. It makes the compiler do things like use the disk rather than memory during the compile and things like that. He was utterly suprised that it didn't work. Mind you, he didn't check it either. I should probably post it to the Lattice BBS, maybe someone will notice it. Anyway, I'm not particularly thrilled with their support. Too bad more people weren't like Tom Rokicki. ******************************************************************************* * Rich Carreiro "MIT isn't Hell.
