Yes I got the disk in the mail. There are lots of improvements compared to 1.0

EEP beta or beta 3 ?

That's why it is called a beta :^) I have not had any serious problems with
VP/2 ( except for the 1.0 release, though swapping one dll fixed that
problem for me )

Fprint is also working on getting VP/2 to other platforms, the compiler
itself is not very dependent on what os it is running. It only uses some os
calls, so porting it should not be that difficult.

I have looked at sibyl, it looks nice, but it is very slow compared to VP/2
