Hi, I am wondering what are the major differences between Microsoft's QuickC 2.5 and 2.0. Does it compile and link dramatically faster than 2.0? Or there are new features not found in 2.0? Would someone e-mail me your opinions on whether or not I should upgrade from 2.0 to 2.5? Thank you in advance! ______________________________________________ Lee Chen <lchen@cs.ubc.ca> Vancouver, BC, Canada __________________________________________________________

In which case, the 2.5 of their QuickC is to be preferred over 2.0 as a production release would be preferred over a beta release.
