George, MicroSoft doesn't sell a C compiler for the Amiga. However, since you can use thier MS-DOS C compiler with the Amiga AND Bridgeboard combo.. it was listed. Most stuff you see in Amiga World you can take with a grain of salt. Right now, Lattice v5.0 seems to be the top dog, and it does include a source level debugger—but since the debugger is new to this release, and I haven't received the update yet…I can't tell you how good/bad it is. Lattice and Manx leapfrog each other at least once a year, so in a few months, you'll see Manx out with a new/better release. In this particular area…the competition between Lattice and Manx is very beneficial to the end user. Don
