Hi Andrew-

V1.1 did fix some obvious bugs.

As for being slow, I think IBM recommended 48 mb RAM as the minimum. 
So, anything less than this would problably seem slow.  I have a pentium
200 and 64 mb RAM, and it runs fine here.

IBM did withdraw it from the market, unfortunately--so no more support
or upgrades.

I also have MS BASIC PDS 7.1, and like it a lot.

Regards,

Fred
