SAS's UNIX version has nothing to do with the Amiga version. It predates SAS
swallowing Lattice.

Not good enough. Then why can't I say:

	link from *.o to progname lib c

It's not the command line syntax that causes a problem, it's the fact that you
can't pass all your filenames on the command line.

You know, one of the neat things about C is that it's pretty easy to write
portable programs. So why does Lattice have to make it so hard to write
portable Makefiles?
