Here is what I have come up with so far - see below...

o Longer variables (up to 65535 characters)

In 6.1, up to 16,773,104 characters.

Also more array elements, 32767 prior to 6.1; up to 16,773,104 in 6.1, depending on the size of the element.

o More data types allowed
* Pointer support

Date, time, and timestamp types are possibly even more compelling than pointers.
