Yep.  What I liked about QLIB was that it failed to compile practically
nothing.  It even added END DEFs etc to try to make sense of bad code.

Turbo not only required absolutely correct syntax, but reused to accept
some correct ones..... but was faster.

In most cases, compiling was the important issue, not speed.

OK it is much better now of course with the new release.
