John, not to start any "war", but ...

A lot of the PD sources I compiled back in 1985 and early 1986 using the
3.02 or 3.03 would go belly up first on the 010 and later on the 020 systems
until I switched to Manx.  I can still locate hardcopy (from CBM, I presume)
documenting the problems in the LIBRARY code of those early Lattice versions.

That's why Scott Turner and I got "involved" with DeciGEL.

Re: the "User Abort Requested" requestors: a lot of stuff uploaded to my
BBS systems has been (recently) compiled using Lattice, and causes that
problem.  After I recompile the sources using Manx, the executable size is
ALWAYS smaller, and the "User Abort Requested" never again surfaces.

Make what you will of that.

And several months ago, in this newsgroup, that topic of the "User Abort..."
came up with respect to AmigaARC and other programs (compiled using Lattice).

Problems with BOTH Manx and Lattice have stymied some of my projects, so I've
been recently "investigating" other alternatives (for which I have source).
And I've been writing commercial compilers for over 20 years, so I know what
I need, and what it takes to satisfy that need.
