        Benchmark *is* not just a PC patch.  It only exists on the Amiga.  The
integration relates only obvious functions such as activating the compiler or
linker, or error listing.  In Benchmark these functions are (initially) bound
to function keys.  You can also execute your file with a function key.  These
are functions used constantly, certainly they MUST be as functional as
possible?  No?

        I can't say about M2Amiga.  All sources I know of who have both
compilers recommend Benchmark, and since I got Benchmark (and MANX C, and
TDI Modula-2) for free, and I'm more than happy with it, I can't see laying
out $200 for M2Amiga.  I'd love to hear more about it though.

                                                                Wade.
