I definitely want, it but prefer to wait for the full version.

This (in my opinion) isn't a bug. Any C compiler I know of treats an
ordinary string as a pointer to an array of chars.
Try c = "ABCDEF"[2]; and you'll find (c=='C') to be true.
Use strlen("anystring") instead of sizeof("anystring").

MWC are much better. I've send my registration card to Chicago and received
their upgrade notice (to V.2.0) prior to the German distributor having
arranged the updates.
