Yes, the original problem, my biggest compaint about C 6.0 is not the 
load time (that is a smaller gripe) but the time (almost 1 minute) 
to compile a   """"""" 1 """"""""""" line program !!!!!!!!!

I like jazzy environments but I do not want things to get in my way:
   I did not buy a new and improved product to have it compile SLOWER!

Granted, I have a 16mhz PS/2 Model 70, but 5.1 quickC ran just fine.
I am not sure why I did not look into the performance aspect of the
upgrade before purchasing it.  I will know better next time....
... and next time will probably be Win 3.0.
