Hi Bill: I am glad to hear that you are using Benchmark Modula-2! I will now try to answer the questions you have posed in your msg. I plan to release additional tools for use with Benchmark Modula-2 in the future and I am sure there will be additional tools from other vendors which will support Benchmark. Currently there are several third party products which work with Benchmark: PowerWindows 2.5, InovaTools 1, MetaScope, LDebug, AREXX… From Avant-Garde Software: Simplified Amiga Library, C Language Library, IFF & Image Resource Library. The Simplified Amiga Library implements the modules which you are interested in Console, Menus, Gadgets, etc. In addition the hundreds of demo programs which come with the package have among them a color-requester module it's called SetColors and is part of the Mondrian demo program. The only item that you mentioned not found in the available modules is a DBase file reader, but this probably has something to do with DBase not being available for the Amiga. I do have a complete database development package which was ported from another system, but after doing some preliminary market research I had to put in on the shelf, due to a lack of market for such a product. I hope I have answered most of your questions, but, if not I will be happy to try again :-). >> Leon Frenkel <<
