m2sprint demo Message #4628
From: Art Steinmetz Amiga Vendor · M2S January 6, 1989 8:09 AM
Got your demo in the mail yesterday. I can say this much – it is thoughtfully put together. It was a real pleasure to go through. It didn't need the mirror ball or the Lotus but…what the heck, you probably had fun rendering them. Hopefully the demo is an indication…
#4206- TDI Upgrade Message #4611
From: Jeffrey DeLeo Amiga Vendor · M2S January 5, 1989 10:08 PM
Ditto! I would love to have a working M2 compiler instead of the TDI compiler I have now gathering dust! – Jeff DeLeo
m2s Message #4601

Phil I am trying to modify PopCLI to terminate instead of staying resident. My machine is a 1000 with 512 k memory. With TDI I have so many large imports e.g. Intuition; that I run out of ram to compile with. Will I have the same problem with m2sprint ?…
Bits and Bytes Message #4510
From: Richard Bielak Amiga Vendor · M2S January 3, 1989 9:29 PM
David, there are few simple ways of doing bit operations in Modula-2. For example to shift right, you divide by the appropriate power of two (i.e. k DIV 4 shifts right by two bits). A smart compiler will convert such statements to SHIFT instructions. To shift left, you multiply by…

From: Bill Hawes Amiga Vendor · M2S December 14, 1988 5:30 PM
A command like 'PUT' RecordVar would be evaluated as an expression, quite possible with a value for the RecordVar variable being retrieved (whether this is what you want or not). However, issuing the command as 'PUT RecordVar' would issue the string as a literal (without the quotes of course) to…
#25930 #AREXX & MFF Message #26102
From: Art Steinmetz Amiga Vendor · M2S December 14, 1988 8:25 AM
In this case I wrote a boolean function called OpenRexxArpLib() that returns zero if it fails. It has a .rexx extension but I could have sworn I tried a fully qualified path name when I was trying to find the problem. Let me try that again. With quotes… could the…
#25925- #AREXX & MFF Message #25930
From: Bill Hawes Amiga Vendor · M2S December 13, 1988 6:17 PM
I'm puzzled that your external function couldn't be found — REXX: is searched. What is the actual name of the function file? Keep in mind that when function names are resolved in file-name space that the file extension used is that specified by the host. If your file is named…
