5.0?? Arrgh, what's the reasoning behind that? I was under the impression
that 4.1 was ANSI standard and it was going to be quite nice. What is
it missing that 5.0 will have?

I'm also worried about manx losing its share of amigans too. The manx/
lattice war is certainly not new (each one putting a new release out
very close to each other), and right now I feel that lattice probably
has a pretty good edge over manx 3.6. (speed/tight code/etc)

Not trying to start a compiler war here...just inquiring... :-)
