Well, you are certainly entitled to your opinion. I think it *is* bad advice – you can indeed go wrong with the Manx compiler, as it specifically offers facilities that encourage sloppy programming. I contend that the Lattice is a clearly superior choice, from virtually any standpoint. Bugs are inevetable in any new product, and the 5.0x series is a new product. Patches are being released regularly, and that is the only area where the Lattice compiler _could_, if you were really trying, be considered the "lesser" of the two compilers. But, if you're going to tak ehtat particular road, all I can say is enjoy it while you can – because the Lattice compiler is being updated, and they're proceeding to take away the one valid argument you have. –Ben-
