Think twice before waiting for a C compiler from MANX.  Last summer, I
called them up to find out if they were coming out with a C compiler
for the ST.  I was told they were and that it would be out in the
early Fall.  Well, early Fall came, and they said it would be out
before Christmas.  Now they say it will be out first quarter next
year.  Can you say "vaporware"?

I stopped waiting for them, and just ordered Megamax C.
