Well, I thought I'd send out some preliminary thoughts on the Laser C vs. MWC
thing.  So far the opinion tends to be that the programming environment for Laser C
is tremendous.  Apparently the compile edit cycle is very well integreated. Also the speed of the
compiler is of course a big plus.

A comment was made that the portability of MWC code to a UNIX environment is better (?).
It'd be nice if someone could provide more details on this topic.  It seems 
that as long as you stay away from ST specific features that the portability 
of the source should be the same for both compilers.

So as of right now Laser C is getting the more favorable reviews.
Keep the opinions coming !
