Lightspeed C (not Lightning C) is not the last word in C compilers - in 
fact, it is Ralph Walden's rewrite of the ACE C compiler. It's functionality
is limited, and the compiler is not as complete as the CC8 compiler.  I think
it has a nicer user interface, though.  I don't know this for sure, however,
since I never bought the Lightspeed C compiler - I was considering it, but
as soon as I found out that it was less complete than CC8, I decided not to.
