Modula2 is extended Pascal, so all your experience with Pascal would cary over. The big differences are the I/O and the concept of a module (seperate compilation, specification and body). The compilers will check for more errors than C or Pascal ever could. As a result you will probably have a faster learning curve with BMM2 than any C compiler. As for 2.0 support, I think the lattest word is not yet, but in progress. Program limmits are 64k bytes for global variables and data per module, code per module, and strings per module. Each of these limits can be avioded by dividing the problem into smaller modules. There are no limits on totals (except that it must fit in memory). This fits with modern software engineering methods. Gary Dunlap : Wyrd Software : It just works like magic!
