i have both lattice c, and sas 6.50 with patches here, its just for me a matter 
of setup all this again since all my amiga died 20 years ago :(

but if i remember makefiles should not be created non local, eg if you get c 
codes from friends sas/lattice should create smakefile/makefile, just like its 
done on linux :)

no you both does not do the job in vain, not at all, i thanks go to 
crashmail/crashtick it supported ums, that is still missing in linux, ums that 
is :=)
