#MODULA-2
6 messages in this thread
If all your programs are small self contained ones then Turbo Pascal will be a
better choice, but if you build yourself a library of your own customized,
general procedures, I don't think Turbo Pascal will be very useful.

Exactly. I think the advantages of Modula-2 outweigh any speed (slight)
advantage that Turbo has from a compile stand-point although admittedly, Turbo
has a lot of code written for it. Hmmm, maybe the Amiga version of
Turbo-to-Modula translator is in order. Anyone know how to write one? How about
it Les (at TDI)? Incidentally, I think the level of support that TDI is giving
is great (IMHO).
regards to all,

There IS a Turbo-to-Modula translator! It's being marketed by Logitech for
their MS-DOS M2 compiler (and therefore uses Logitech specific function calls).
I have it, but never really bothered to use it for converting Turbo programs to
TDI-compatible M2 code. I guess it can be done, but will still require
extensive manual intervention.

The 68000 implementation of Turbo Pascal has UNITs and an internal linker. It
is also able to process, for example, 200K of total source code (main program,
other modules, system includes, library procedures, etc.) in 20 seconds.
Producing an executable program. Tell me that's not useful. – Bela
That's not useful.
Or to be more precise, that won't be useful until Borland decides to bring out
an Amiga version.

True! Unless you've got a Mac… – Bela
