I don't want to start any compiler wars, but I am looking for comments or
knowledge about C/C++ compilers for the Amiga.  From what I understand, both
Aztec and Lattice C are now ANSI compliant, with SDB.  It used to be the
case that code for Aztec could be compiled on Lattice, but the converse was
not always true.  Is that still the case?  Is the Lattice C++ compiler based
on C++ ver. 1, or C++ ver.2?  Can you compile any ANSI C program if you have
the C++ compiler, or do you really need C and C++?  What are the relative
speeds for the Aztec C, Lattice C, and Lattice C++?  Are any of the PD C
compilers good enough to that I can skip buying a commercial one?
