  If you ask me, that is a real lame excuse to even think of dumping a product
like MSC!  If you doing any serious software development on a such a crippled
machine, I feel sorry for you.  Go out and spend a couple of bucks and upgrade,
and join the real world.  I can't believe that anyone would pick software 
based on what format the disks come in!  MSC is completely superior to TC and
ZT C++.  AAAAAARRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!

  I sure hope that that Quarterdeck decides to fix QEMM386, since it is an
awesome product, but I might have to find a substitute so I upgrade my     
compiler....
