Dunno, haven't looked at snapshots since our fpctris kludge last September. A quick glance (but no testing) only shows a Win32 ppcross386.exe build and three (!) i8086 compilers, one for each memory model (eh??).

The IDE shelling out / compile + run bug seems fixed. Context-sensitive help via CHM still works (once added), which is better than a billion .HTML files. Forgot to check about DiskFree on FAT32.
