Yes this works just fine but why should I have to explicitely
specify the path to the library I want to link with?  On the command
line I've already specified the memory model I want so why can't
Lattice figure out which library that corresponds to?  Every other
compiler on the market can.  As I also noted, Lattice has fixed this
behavior in their 286 (and I assume 386) developer's kits.  Since
Lattice is no longer providing updates I assume it will never be
fixed in the basic package.  I find this kind of behavior
unacceptable in a compiler especially in light of InfoWorld's
recommendation of Lattice as a good package for beginners.

Sorry if I touched a nerve but I stand by my assertion that if you
are going to buy a compiler, Lattice is not a good choise.
