	Yes, the new release fixes these problems. It also has a pcc
compatible void type(i.e. void functions only) and Ansi C style argument
type checking. Furthermore the delivered library is much larger and
more useful. It now contains most of the important routines from the
Ansi draft standard and the Sys V interface specification, as well as
support for most of the features of MS-Dos up through version 3.1. A
vast improvement.

	Yes, it is fairly good, and support is *mostly* fairly decent.
One nice feature is its extended Large Model(called Huge Model),
unfortunately that model is somewhat buggy. The latest release also
has a significant bug in Large Model floating point arithmetic, for
which we are waiting for a fix.
