Hi Leon
The name's Bill. I'm studying Digital Systems Design here at Simon
Fraser University in beautiful British Columbia. The instructional language
of choice here is Modula-2, so I found myself buying your package about a
year and a half ago. For the most part, I've been very happy with what I
got. I kind of miss having a NEW and DISPOSE, but otherwise all is well. As
you may guess, we Amigoids are fairly scarce around these parts, with the
vast majority of machines being DOS boxes, Unix boxes and Macs. Kind of
nice being different, though.
In answer to your question about 2.0, I'm running an Amiga 3000. I
nuked 1.3 a while back to recover the drive space so I guess you might say
I 'seldom' use 1.3 anymore. Yeah, I'd really like to see a 2.0 version of
the compiler. If you get around to it, a few suggestions:
-add the missing NEW and DISPOSE
-permit the superfluous use of EXPORT statements in .def
modules.
Some of us have professors who work on older compilers and
expect
EXPORT statements, even though they have been removed from
the
language spec.
-maybe include direct support for linking M2SCS to Cygnus
Ed Pro.
You did a nice job on your editor, but some of us would
like to use
one editor for all of our work. It saves learning another
editor.
I know that M2CED is around, but if it doesn't install
itself, I
haven't the time to screw with it. 'Nuff said?
Anyway, I have and use the package and would like to see more files
and messages.
Bye
