Someone responded to my post about not being able to link object
modules created with QC 2.5 with QB4.5.  I've since lost the
article, but I wanted to respond.  His viewpoint basically was that
this "sucked" (tm).  I couldn't agree more, but here is a little
explanation about why this is.  

The way our interlanguage calling capabilities are implemented, 
each new product is designed to be compatable with whatever the
current version of other languages are when it is released.

In other words, when QB 4.5 was released, QC 2.10 was the current
version of QuickC.  QuickC 2.5 was just a twinkle in our language
developer's eyes. :)  Obviously, it would be a little difficult to
ensure compatability with a product that didn't even exist!

Just an FYI...
