After this, support for other platforms dwindled until compiler development ceased for all platforms except IBM mainframes. Lattice was purchased by SAS Institute in 1987 and rebranded as SAS/C. Microsoft developed their own C compiler that was released in April 1985 as Microsoft C Compiler 3.0. The compiler was subsequently repackaged by Microsoft under a distribution agreement as Microsoft C version 2.0. It was ported to many other platforms, such as mainframes ( MVS), minicomputers ( VMS), workstations ( UNIX), OS/2, the Commodore Amiga, Atari ST and the Sinclair QL. The hardware requirements were 96KB of RAM and two floppy drives. The compiler sold for $500 and would run on PC DOS or MS-DOS (which at the time were the same product with different brandings).
The Lattice C Compiler was released in June 1982 by Lifeboat Associates and was the first C compiler for the IBM Personal Computer.
Not to be confused with Lattice Semiconductor.
