Jal V2 was a coup d'etat by some people. I have never installed it
and never ran it. I rely on some weird JAL features ( like raw
interrupts) that do not work in JAL v2.

Yes, there should be a nice windoze JAL environment with editors and
USB programmers support. I don't know if JAL v2 is that.

I use 4.60 every day on a large variety of OS's (FreeBSD, OS X, DOS,
XP) and I'm quite happy with it.
