Phil – I see a lot of folks using Wirth's single pass compiler. Is there any chance you all might go the same route? It would require revamping the entire system but the pluses just might outweigh the minuses. Also, just for the record, I purchased an MS-DOS Modula-2 compiler from Modula Corp. Those folks provide absolutely no support. They do have a great debugger, though, and have implemeted most of their products for the 68K. Any chance you could all work out a deal with them (I guess they're still pretty active in Europe) to include their debugger with your product line? It's not as good as Micosoft's CodeView (few, if any, are) but it still is condsiderably better than TDI's (no offense). Also I'd like to add that your optimizing linker is excellent. Slow, maybe, but I like having small executables. Most things I hack on are small utilities. Having a single-purpose routine taking up 20K on a disk would be quite wasteful.
