The version of Quick-C I used about a month ago insisted on medium memory
model only only only.  Has this been lifted?  Also, setting up the environment
was incredibly difficult.  Have Microsoft improved that at all?

Unless these problems (which are only the ones I remember off the top of my
head- there were more) have been fixed, I don't think Turbo-C and Quick-C can
be compared.  Quick-C just does not compete.  It is still in the starting gate
while Turbo has finished the race, had a shower, gone home and started dinner.

Cheers,
-Mark.
