I've been trying to figure this out for some time. I'm trying to get the
Lattice compiler and programs it generates to run under the Beckemeyer
MT-C shell. Because of Lattice's "taking all memory" approach, all Lattice
progs crash the shell. I haven't been able to get around it. My current
efforts are in the area of trying to build an alternate STARTUP.BIN.
My fall-back position is to throw away Lattice C.

You do need a special startup module. The latest version of Lattice 
supposedly includes one.
