V2.0 behaves very much like V1.x under DPMI.  If your program runs under
Windows with V1.x, it will probably run without major modifications
under V2.0.  If you are calling DOS interrupts directly which have 
pointers associated with them in your assembler, you either need to
convert them to the simulate_interrupt type calls, or wait til I
release my extender hang-in (not the right answer for speed).

You should get a copy of the beta and start ASAP.  V2 is actually more
stable than V1.x in many aspects, behaves the same in all environments,
is faster, and is where all future development will happen.
