Summary: A summary of net views on 'C' compilers

Only a few days (maybe a week) back, I posted a note asking the opinion of 
those on the net regarding their chioce for a 'C' compiler for use on the
Amiga.

I have, to date, recieved a total of 12 responses, and all of the said:

MANX Aztec C (Version 3.40b)

Being able to take a hint, I called and ordered a copy (developer) and asked
that it be shipped UPS RED LABEL (next day delivery, for those not in the
"know").  I placed the order at 4:15pm EST and lo and behold, it was at my
door the next morning at 10:12am - I did not expect them to be able to ship
so ;late in the day! or even to bother!

I was impressed.

But not half as impressed as I've been since working with it.  My advice?
If you plan on writing code in 'C', do yourself a favour - get MANX!

These opinions are my own and that of a dozen other people...
