Hi all,
	I don't own either manx, or lattice,  but I am planning to buy manx real
soon now :-), so this is not a question as to which is better.  Whew, I bet that
was a sigh of relief.   

	 What I wanted to know, is how different is the code needed
for each compiler to get the "same" output.   What I am thinking is that
with lex we/I/anyone should be able to write a simple (simple???) lexical 
analyser to convert manx code to lattice code... or at least help automate the  
job of transferring code from one compiler to another, since it has been 
mentioned it would be nice/convenient to be able to compile programs with either
compiler..


       If anyone is familiar with both I would appreciate an outline (via email)
on what the differences are... thanks......
