There are definitely some differences between TC 1.5 and 2.0.  
The changed behaviour of cprintf() with respect to '\n' is a 
good example.  It isn't a bug since it is clearly documented and
cprintf() isn't portable anyway.

The main things I've noticed are changes to make TC more nearly
ANSI C and more portable to non-DOS systems.  I also use  C
on VMS and UNIX VAXen and am finding it much easier to port programs
amongst all 3 with TC 2.0 as compared with before.

I would say to get TC 2.0 and which is a much better, faster compiler that
is more portable to ANSI/POSIX systems.
