I too received the upgrade offer for 6.0 from 5.1 for only 125.00?
What about QuickC? When I purchased 5.0 I received QC and
later bought QC 2.0?. I do most of my prototyping in QC.
Does 6.0 come with QC? If not, will my old QC libs be compatible with
6.0 or vice versa?
By the way, is 6.0 compatible with SDK 2.1, and I guess the SDK for WIN 3.0?
So it costs $125.00 for C6.0, so let us optimistically say $100.00 for win3.0,
$150.00 for the new SDK (for upgrades). $375.00 smackers, now if I add how
much I have already paid for $windos 2.0 , $win386, $SDK 2.0 & $upgrade,
$C 5.0 & $5.1 upgrade, $QC 2.0...........I should have bought stock in MS!
Additionally, this new environment probably means that I will add another
10-20 readme, doc, txt files to my collection!

MSC 6.0 contains a /qc option which obviates the inclusion of QC as a development tool. For QC users, MS is releasing QC 2.5 & 2.51 (latter w/QASM). Although the core technology is identical with QC 2.0, QC 2.5 incorporates changes to make it compatible with MSC 6.0, e.g. ANSI compliance, support (even if unimplemented) of new compiler switches, identical header files, compatible libraries, inline assembler, etc. For its part, MSC 6.0 includes the things QC users are used to, e.g. an IDE in the form of the Programmer's Workbench, incremental recompilation and linking, etc.
