The first is the standard C compiler with many ANSI extension (or all ?!!...
i really don't know exactly!). The latter is the object-oriented version of
the same compiler. If you are not going to program using this type of
programming you can use the first (that costs less than the C++ version!).

Note: if you have to compare Manx and Lattice compilers you MUST compare
the standard compilers and not the object-oriented versions (even because
i didn't hear of a C++ compiler from Manx..).
