Michael, I got the original Amiga C compiler 3.01 (produced by Lattice, shipped by CBM). It stunk. It produced bad code, guru'd during compiles, all sorts of nasty stuff. So I then purchased Manx 3.2 and upgraded it everytime an upgrade was available ending up with 3.6A. When Lattice 5.02 became available, with all the "goodies", I purchased it and have been very happy with it, with no intention of going back to Manx. Now that SAS has taken over Lattice, I'll upgrade my Manx "just in case". I have very little faith in the quality control of product that SAS has shown in the past.
