We just got our copies of the 3.4 version of the compiler. It is very much
like the 3.x release but has a different directory setup. There are some
bug fixex over the older versions but it does not seem to produce 386 code.
We've been using the /2 flag for 286 code but I don't know of an
equivalent for 386.

I haven't seen MDA support, but I haven't looked too hard. I was disappointed
that the linker didn't allow me to link the Halo 88 libraries. The old version
didn't either but rumor had it that the new one would.

I haven't tried it yet but the docs seem to say that you can use the linker
option to prune out unused code in modules without breaking the debugger.
