From: Jerry Callen <SYSTEMS.JLC@UChicago> Well folks - I called up Modula Corp yesterday for the umpteenth time and was told that shipments on their Modula-2 compiler for the Mac would begin "tomorrow". Well, that still rings of "the check is in the mail", but just MAYBE I will have a compiler early next week. I have been using the Beta test version with mixed results (it works, but has some bugs and is S L O W - the edit-compile-link-test process, not the resulting code) and will post a review when (if) I get my production copy. I was saddened to hear that Volition bit the dust - I was hoping that SOMEONE would do a native-code compiler for the Mac. The Modula Corp compiler generates "m-code" that's not bad (at least in my limited tests) but real 68000 code would be nice... -- Jerry Callen (Systems.JLC@UChicago.BitNet) - or - (Systems.JLC@UChicago.MailNet) -------
