XL2; New compiler used for building the Hardware and PC Simulation releases.
XL200
The Borland 5.02 compiler is no longer the compiler we will be using for the XL200 software projects. The last copywrite date for this compiler was 1997.
The new compiler comes from Embarcadero, called Builder 12. It has a copywrite date of 2024. It contains compilers and linkers that are compatible with the tools and techniques required to support the XL200 software projects and Hardware.
There is much less danger in a windows update causing issues with this new compiler. It will provide additional tools that will help us better support the existing hardware and to be able to eventually transition to more modern Source Control tools.
