The first time I remember seeing "Microsoft Segmented-Executable
Linker" was when I started using 6.0.  I don't have any copies of 5.1
left installed, or I'd check.  I do know they are constantly fixing
things they don't tell you about. (eg. non-reentrant printf,
recognizing network drives, ...)  I purchased the Quick-C 2.0 upgrade
on a whim, and was glad I did, just for its improved linker.
