It is a hard call.  If one of the following is something you'd really like
to have, then the update is probably worth it.  If not, or everything is
working fine for you, well, I guess it is a toss up!
Here is a quick summary of what has changed - as you can see, it really is
pretty minor stuff:
e.exe: bug fix.
sc.exe updated to (better) accommodate #ifdef's, so that macros containing
conditional logic for win32/dos can be compiled.
new macros:
delblank    - removes multiple blank lines, or removes them all
sl          - displays a statusline per window (doesn't work in all
circumstances)
uniq        - removes duplicate lines, without reordering the file/block
updates:
    capital     - bug fix
    capture     - bug fix
    cd          - partial rewrite to use 2.50 features
    expand      - better centering of list of matches
    ldflist     - bug fix
    match       - count chars between double-quotes
    projects    - bug fix
    spellchk    - added command line interface
    state       - bug fix
    video       - addition of 43 line mode
    where       - ability to view zip files like the filemanager does
Plus, a dozen or more of the macros were updated to also work with the win32
version, including all of the .ui's.  Things like conditionally including
dll's versions binaries, or using the win32 api vs. the DOS Intr() function.

The next version (if there ever is such a thing - sometimes I wonder) will
contain undo/redo, and many enhancements to the macro language, that should
allow us (and others) to write even more and powerful enhancement macros for
the editor.
