We have now begun shipments of Modula-2 for the Amgiga. All of our current orders will have been shipped by Wednesday the 26th. Thank you for your patience. Regards, Les Caudle

Les, got my copy Friday. Haven't had much time to get familiar with it (knowing Modula 2 would help!), but so far it's all you said it is. It's much faster than Lattice C. I must admit to being blown away with the quality of the compiler, and the degree to which it's integrated with the Amiga environment. A far cry from, say, MCC Pascal. I realize that the compiler wasn't written from scratch for the Amiga … that all (?) you had to do was port it from the Mac version. Still, I'm very impressed. A quality piece of work.

Jack – Our Modula-2 compiler was not ported from the Mac. It has been running on Pinnacle and Stride computers for a year and a half and on the Atari ST since September. Glad you are happy with it! Regards, Les
