Hello Folks!

	I have version 1.4 of the Mark Williams compiler and am
	thinking of sending in for the upgrade to 2.0 if the
	improvements are substantial. Can you tell me the following:

1. Has the compiler changed significantly? Does it allow inline
   assembly language now? Has the optimzer been improved further?

2. I heard that there was new documentation. Is this doc any different
   from version 1.4 (single manual describes compiler, Make and
   MicroEmacs rather well, but no docs on Gem calls).

3. Have the libraries been improved further. What has changed specifically?

4. In short, what improvements have been made?


	I would appreciate any info on this. Also,
what is the procedure for upgrading (I heard something about sending in
page 2 of the manual along with some money).

	Thanks for any info.

ps. I have found the quality of the software and documentation to be
    very good; therfore, unlike for other compilers, the motivation
    for sending for an upgrade is not there!
