I called the Manx toll-free number to find out more about their C tools.
The latest version of the compiler is 3.4a. The debugger is not expected
for at least three months. If you buy the year of updates and if the
debugger appears within a year, then you will get the debugger also.
The person I spoke to seemed to indicate that if I bought the compiler
today, I would most likely get the debugger (i.e. it will be released
within a year), but did not want to make any promises.

I've become addicted to dbx and dbxtool on the Sun I use at work, and
I can't wait for it to show up on the Amiga.
