The personal edition is still available for download from the
Harlequin ftp site.

I may be wrong but I don't think the personal edition allowed the
distribution of the compiled binaries for anything but personal use.

Yes, you will be losing additional functionality. You will not have
COM support, socket support, database support and I don't think it
allowed c-ffi usage for anything except the win32 library files that
shipped with the compiler. There are some new DUIM gadgets in FD that
are not in HD and there are some DUIM bugs that appear in practice in
HD that are fixed in FD. Incremental compilation support and macro
expansion is also supported in FD 2.0 but not HD 1.2.
All the above is from memory so I may be wrong about the distribution
conditions, functionality available, etc. What about downloading the
30 day trial of FD and using that instead?
Chris.
