Art, What would be best, I think, would be for VM to be an inherent part of the Amiga OS; that would provide a great benefit to all software running on the Amiga, don't you think? Unfortunately, from what I understand, it would only prove feasible with an MMU, which is missing from any systems not using accelerator cards with the MMU on board. Alas! Well, as for my problem, I'm not sure what the best direction is. Modula and C both have positive and negative characteristics, but software maintenance and modularity seems to weigh more favorably with Modula. The array concerns are less important with C. Both languages represent, for me, a substantial time commitment for learning, Modula more so than C, but the differences are not substantial. I have the next year off for my sabbatical, so perhaps the learning problem is an appropriate task for my leisure time! Steve
