The main advantance is that 2.5 is fully compatible to C PDS 6.0 the
professional Compiler. I do have both of them. Write and evaluate the
programs quickly in Quick and get a resonably code from PDS, espeacially
interesting to get assembler source and / or better optimization. I really
enjoy Quick C with Quick assembler. But for real applications You do need
The MASM 5.1 (6.0) with PDS C.
