     Uh, I'm a little confused by what I've read regarding Lattice C v. Aztec
C. Everybody seems to say (a) Aztec usually produces faster code, (b) Aztec
usually produces the code faster (that is to say, it compiles faster),
(c) Aztec is cheaper, and (d) Lattice is more widely used.
     Now, that can't all be right -- unless Lattice has *vastly* superior
advertising or something, and I can't imagine that would be enough to make the
difference. Assuming I'm right about points (a), (b) and (c), though, why the
heck is (d) true? Does Lattice offer better support? What have I missed?
