Does anyone out there with version 1.1 of MWC have any comments regarding
bugs in this software?  Does anyone have knowledge of version 1.0 bugs that
have been fixed?

I have version 1.0 of MWC, and while it is generally an excellent collection
of software, there are some irritating bugs.  Single character I/O is not 
possible using the C library.  The msh shell sometimes ignores commands 
after an error has occured.  The "Unix compatibility" library routines 
(open, close, read, write, etc.) are buggy.

I called the Mark Williams Company to ask about an upgrade.  They connected
me to the Sales department, and I was put on hold for about 10 minutes.  At
this point my patience ran out.

Does anyone know what "gemfix.prg" (the final pass of cc) does?  I have
not yet found a reference to it in the documentation.

Thanks in advance,

Karl Rowley
