I don't know what they use. I work for a publisher who puts out about 3 to 5 titles a year, granted they are not nearly as ambitious as a full blown 'c' compiler but we do not have the kind of products that you can use a test suite on. Our stuff does have bugs but they ususally come up under odd situations. Some of the things I see in the Amiga world ( 2.0 for instance ) seem to have glaring problems. I mean did someone NOT run DPaint under 2.0 before they put it out? Were they pressed for time, knew it would not work and put it out anyway? One of the reasons I am not an early 3000 owner is the fear of losing a lot of software. As for Lattice, ( I do not have Manx ), I was a bit severe last night, and was a bit hard on them. I put 5.10 back on today after a night's sleep and 1/2 bag of Poore Brothers Cajun chips and it seemed to work pretty well. Early hours after debugging isn't a good time to try a new compiler on untested code. It's just it kills me when I find I've spent an hour or two tearing my hair out and it turns out to be a problem in the compiler. I'm sure Lattice takes pride in their work and wish them well.
