Ben, Lattice had a head start w/ the Amiga market in that they were the 1st compiler up and running. However, once Manx was available _almost everyone_ used our product over Lattice's. It was only when Lattice came out w/ the 5.0x product that people went back to them. The fact is that for a long time Manx produced better code for the majority of applications than Lattice did. The fact is that Manx had a source debugger available before Lattice did. The Lattice and Manx products are now, at this point, pretty much evenly matched (comparing Lattice 5.05 and Manx 5.0a). And please don't talk about ANSI compatability (of which Lattice doesn't have at the moment, and they've only been close to since 5.0x. And I'm sick of hearing about ILAC – if you don't like it, don't use it. If you won't use Manx becasue we offer features Lattice doesn't have, which you are in no way forced to use by us, then its your loss. -Mike
