Actually, it turns out that there was yet another reason why Manx reshipped
1.06H... the shell on it wouldn't work on a 512K Mac!  For some reason,
if you tried to run any program that wasn't in your current directory (e.g.,
the compiler itself), the shell would "bomb" due to a DSBadLaunch error.
I just called Manx about an hour ago (after trying to get through to their
BBS, which is down), and "Barrie", their upgrade person, promised to send
out a fixed version today.

PS - this is not typical of Manx; their software generally works very well,
although their response to user questions has always been somewhat insular...
recently they have apparently hired more support people, and this has
improved somewhat.

Disclaimer:  I am probably very biased in favor of Manx, because I have
bought their compilers since before the beginning, and also met them in
person once, and decided they were basically nice folks... :-)
