From page 1 of the introduction of QC 2.5:

   Enhancements for QC 2.5:

   Language compatibility with MS C 6.0
   Increased ANSI standard C compatibility
   Support for the tiny memory model
   Enhanced Graphics Library
   New Quickwatch debugging feature
   Customized color window support

I think you got to make up your own mind if the new features are worth
it to ya.  The price was right for me!
