Well, the upgrade isn't that expensive ($40?) and now you have the
perfect excuse -- just ask them if being able to DEBUG is high on
their priority list. :-)

The upgrade is really worth it, particularly if you are using the
Windows IDE during development.  The Windows version of the IDE now
does all the same kinds of optimizations and such that the DOS version
did, instead of being a basically 'non-optimizing' compiler.
