I am quite interested in TDI's Modula-2. However, it seems that they are offering two versions. (???) What's the difference between the versions? Does anyone know how it compares with the speed of Lattice C? (their prices are quite similar…) -Wayne-

Hi Wayne! I own TDI's Modula-2. The two versions that are sold are: vanilla version (ion ($90) and developers version ($150). The developers version includes sources for some of the utility modules, and sources of all definition modules set up for Amiga (BTW do you know Modula-2????). The compile speed is better than Lattice C. A "Print Hello" program compiles in about 30-40 secs. Linking is about twice as fast as ALINK. The size of executable is also significantly smaller (Hell program in Modula-2 is about 8K, and 6K with ALINK)…That's "Hello program"…… Hope this helps….Richie B….if you'd like more info drop me a line…
