	I have to agree with this comment.  Alcyon worked (with some problems)
so I tried MWC.  The first version I fought often with.  Version 2 I thought
was a breeze to use.  With the release of 3.0 and CSD, all I can say is WOW!!!
I found bugs in the first day I had been looking at for weeks.

	I did find one thing I think is a bug though, #line preprocessor
statements confuse it.

	As for some of the others, I tried Lattic (Slow as snails) and
anything that requires overlays on a 68000 system can forget it.  A lot
of the others I have not tried because either they were not around when I
was looking or there were horror stories about there use.
