Yep. As of 2.0 (which came out over a year ago now) you were able to
specify which memory model you wanted.

I've had no trouble setting up the environment. It seemed simple. I don't
know how they did it in release 1, so I have no basis for saying it is
"easier" though I'd guess that it is.

There are several places where QC is ahead however. The integration of
assembler
into 2.5 is much cleaner than what I saw with TASM, for example.
