For us lowlier mortals :-), the fact that Aztec is small enough to run in 512K with its temporary files in RAM: adds up to a lot of time saved on a smaller Amiga. With more memory, Mike is probably right. A full ANSI compiler from Manx is promised for the next release, but I don't know an estimated date for it.
