Version 8 is faster especially with large sets and tables.  It also
has somewhat smaller structures for lists, tables, sets, and records.

Anyone using 7.0 under MS-DOS should upgrade to 8.0 for two reasons:
8.0 fixes several bugs and if you need help from the Icon Project, you'll
have to be running 8.0.
