Well, I can't really tell you which is better, but here's the story up to now.

    Lattice C comes out.
    Aztec C comes out a workd fairly well, actually!
    Aztec become favorite of the Amiga community, and so I buy one.
    Lattice brings out 5.0 and has a better product then Aztec (note: there 
are of course several updates in here and Aztec is currently at 3.6)
    Lattice C becomes the de facto amiga standard for C.  (I have no idea why, 
this is just what seems to have happened to me)
    Lattice C still has some bugs (up to 5.04 I think now, but is giving 
upgrades for free)
    Aztec 5.0 is finally shipped (like, this week!)  (discussion on this 
newest release will surely generate alot of messages in the next month)

    Well, that's this journalist view of the "C" war so far.  I hope it helps.
In closing, I'd like to say I think BOTH are good products, and the compition 
between the two has only helped the amiga community through competive pricing 
and reliablity concerns.  -jim-
