2.0 is MUCH faster.  The difference is unbelievable.  We recently installed
2.0 on a customer system and I couldn't believe my eyes.  

It's well worth upgrading your package; the 2.0 release provides near-MSDOS
speed on identical hardware (ie: you run nearly as fast on Xenix as you do
on MSDOS), and is still multiuser.

We've noted a couple of quirks, but no real bugs.  Everything seems to work
just fine, even without a recompile.
