A call to the number Lattice gave in the ad yielded only terse info from one of their phone-jockeys: - The guy I spoke with asserted that it is a C++ compiler. I did my best to confirm that he knew the distinction with C++ compilers and translators, but I wasn't convinced. - He could not put me through to someone who knew more about the product, though offered to put me on a mailing list for more information. - Shipping: July `88 - Price: Not yet determined LAB ANALYSIS: High Vapor Content.
