I've been leafing through the April APDA catalog (which only arrived
here last week), and I notice that a beta version of MPW 2.0 is now
available.  The description for the 2.0 C compiler says that the
compiler is being modified to optionally generate 68020 and 68881 code
and "to provide optional long word data and stack alignment."  Does
this mean that the compiler allows "int"s to be either 2 or 4 bytes
long?  Also, I recall reading somewhere that the version 2.0 compiler
would optionally allow Pascal-style strings instead of C-style strings
as arguments to Toolbox calls.  (I assume this means that there are
two sets of libraries.)

Is either of these speculations true?
