Steve – Thanks for your bug report. All data and heap size restrictions will be removed in the next release. 64 bit reals will be fully implemented. This work is almost finished. I anticipate the new release within the next 2 1/2 months complete with a full screen editor (to replace m2error). Releasing the full source to all the Amiga modules in the Commercial version has turned out to be a very good move for us. By doing so, we have many additional outside Modula-2 programmers that locate, report and correct bugs in our Amiga modules. The next release should be nearly bug free. I am using Modula-2 with a 1 meg system (from C. Ltd.) and have had no problems (although I am sure there will be some conflicts with 1.2). There is no ATOMlike utility in the current release. We will probably have a compiler option in the next release to specify chip memory. Regards, Les
