Anyone know of a 'C' compiler for the Amiga that is not compatible with
the Amiga 'C' compiler (lattice)?  I own Manx, and it has a few bugs, but
it is compatible for almost every source posted to this newsgroup so far.
As a matter of fact, my distribution disk cam with the sources to a lot of
public domain stuff from the Fred Fish disks - all work fine.  Now either 
someone spent a lot of time converting these sources to make them compile
with Manx, or Manx is truly compatible.  I use the +l option on the compiler
most of the time.
