Both these statements are out-of-date.  Manx's Aztec C can create
an application (Versaterm was written with Manx C) and has a
librarian and library searching linker.  I have run them both,
but have not run benchmarks.  The speed and power of the compilers
"seem" to be about equal.  It looks to me like the trade off
is in price versus development tools.  I would not want to have
to make a  choice between these two compilers.

I have not had the need to call the Manx people, but I did call
the Megamax folks, and they were helpful in the extreme.  Researched
my problem, then called back in a very short time.
