A little respect for history would be nice. Lattice didn't begin to improve their compiler until they adopted many of the innovations which Manx introduced, such as a good selection of registers for the compiler to use (early lattice used a6 as the frame pointer, for example), ability to merge hunks, ffp support, etc., etc., etc. Both are fine compilers, and the existance of each has greatly enriched the amiga. Manx was also the first to provide a really good symbolic debugger with their product. Of course, there are those who feel that debuggers, along with inline assembly, are evil distractions to programmers… sdb
