I use version 2 of the JPI M2 compiler and for the most part it does
work.  I doubt "JPI could have gotten it right", because:
   1) They haven't had time to make the kinds of changes needed.
   2) The biggest problem they have can never now be addressed
      Version 1 of there compiler was a simple and elegance
      product, it could have used a few 'enchancements' but all
      in all it was what M2 is all about.  Version 2 added
      mega-media-hype-crap (not what M2 is about), and did a
      poor job of it at that.  Course once it's in there it
      can't be removed...  I will upgrade and give it a chance
      (I do like the product, I'm just disappointed with it's
      lack of direction/innovation), but if it's more (and more
      and more) of the same I'm likely to nuke it and put version
      1 back on (and save 2 meg of disk space).
      <big sigh>
      It's a shame the could find the people who produced version
      1 and hire them back <grin> ...
