No. Phil was careful to add his ABC extensions in a way that is more or less compatible with other software; furthermore he actively maintains his sofware to support the extensions of other ABC developers. The problem with ABC2WIN is exactly that it A) breaks all existing ABC standards terribly (think of rubbish like |!:) and B) that is not maintained and C) that is nevertheless advertized on the ABC homepage as being the leading ABC application for the Windows platform!
