In light of the major and crippling bugs in 5.0a and 5.0b, I have some apprehension about getting started with it. Does anyone out there have any experiences to report? I'm also wondering if Manx has been left behind in the functionality race. Can any users out there give me a run through of the highs and lows of each package as they see them? I have no experience with any Lattice release later than 3.0 and would like to hear what's up. If it sounds favorable, I may end up making the jump to SAS. Comparisons/contrasts and feature summaries for SAS especially will be helpful. By the way, did anyone notice that the Manx ad on the inside front cover of the first issue of the AW Tech Journal mentioned version 5.2?!?! Is this something they really plan to get out soon, or were they hoping that the Journal would be another six months in appearing? Thanks a lot. Jerry
