Lattice C is no longer a product. It's been replaced by SAS C. It's the same compiler, essentially, but a newer version. SAS is the parent company for Lattice. I'd say SAS C is what you want. :-) -Ron

I am looking for a C compiler. I'm probably going to end up getting either Lattice C or SAS C. Could some of you gurus please tell me your thoughts on these two packages? Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

I have both--they're very good. :-) Actually, SAS C is just the later revisions of Lattice C (starting with 5.10, I believe.) The other commercial Amiga C compiler is from Manx. From what I gather, one's perference is largely religious, especially considering the latest release from Manx. My personal experience: SAS Institute, Inc. provides excellent support. The compiler still has a few bugs, and does not create the tightest code, but is complete with many supporting tools provided, including a very good symbolic debugger. The manuals could use some improvement, but are about par for computer manuals. I have no experience with the Manx compiler. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The crew faces deadly GURUs!

SAS is the parent company of Lattice and had themselves written the last two Lattice versions, v4 and v5. SAS has since taken over the responsibility for the compiler and has come out with a new release to v5 called v5.1. V5.1 gives a workbench interface to the compiler plus compatability/includes for v2.0 of the Workbench. If you have the A3000 you probably want/need the v5.1, otherwise you still probably want v5.1 but you wouldn't suffer with v5 from Lattice. --Mike -- -------- o A herd of bagels | Michael Figg DSAC-FSD | | -- oo o o escaping from a deli. | DLA Systems Automation Center | | -- ooo oo Looking for Lox in | Cols, Ohio mfigg@dsac.dla.mil -------- o o all the wrong places | CIS: 73777,360
