Here is a brief list of the new features.

	* Multi-language support.  This allows C and Modula-2 to be
	  combined in the same program "seamlessly"

	* Optimizer improvement.  I believe the optimizer has been taken
	  from Topspeed C.

	* Object oriented extentions.  CLASS, VIRTUAL and SELF keywords
	  have been added.

	* User environment improvements.

	* Library improvements.  Including mouse support, extra graphics
	  functions, more string routines and access to C libraries.

	* Compiler pragma.  Similar to C's #pragma, allowing control
	  over the compilers code generation etc.

	* DLL's: DOS Dynamic linked libraries, like OS/2

	* Improved VID to allow debugging of C and Modula-2.

	* Microsoft Windows support.


   Disclaimer: 

     I have no association with JPI other than being a Beta tester for a
     number of there products.
