I guess nobody has received their new Amiga Worlds yet.  Two interesting ads 
caught my eye. 

The first (and probably least important to most) was the ad for Power Windows
Version 2.0.  For those of you who have never heard of the product, it is a
programming aid that let's you set up windows and menus graphicly, and then
generates the C or Assem. source.  However, the new version also generates
Modula-2 as well as allowing you to set up gadgets from IFF brushes.  Sounds
like a killer utility to me.  Made by Inovatronics Inc.  $89.95

Second and probably creating the most controversy is Lattice 4.0  The ad
has a little comparison chart to Manx:

		Lattice 4.0	|	Manx 3.40
	------------------------|-------------------------
Dhrystone	1294 per sec.	|   1010 per sec.
				|
Float		22.20 secs	|   98.85 secs		(IEEE format)
		10.16 secs 	|   17.60 secs		(FFP format)
 				|
Savage		47.67 secs	|   119.6 secs		
(IEEE)		.000000318	|   .000109		(accuracy)


All I could say was WOW!  I could be lucky I haven't placed my order for a 
C compiler yet.  The ad was pretty impressive.

Ok, any beta tester out there of either of these two?? 
Any suggestions, warnings, etc.
