I can tell you that I don't suffer from such problems. Inline assembler supported at long last!
I dropped my $125 in the mail and was extremely happy to do it. I am confused
about one thing that disturbs me. They included in the literature FOR A
SEPERATE PRICE, the Library Reference Manual. Surely they cannot mean not
to include the Library Reference Manual with the compiler can they? Possibly
they are acknowledging the fact that this will become one of the most stolen
pieces of coding in the world in the next few months and since most people
neve read anything but the Library Reference manual they are trying to recoup
some of their losses. (Here's hoping).
The one thing they didn't mention and I suspect is still half supported
s interrupts. I was sincerely hoping that with 6.0 they would switch
stacks so that safe TSR's could be written easily or that they finally
completely support setjmp and longjmp. Inquiring minds want to know!
