No, I was referring to the Modula-2 from Modula Corp up in Provo, UT (which, by the way, was supposed to have been sent to me a few weeks ago). They (like SofTech) licenced their editor from Apple, and it's a safe bet that it will be nearly identical to the one in MacAdvantage:UCSD Pascal. My condolences, by the way, on the demise of Volitions Systems. I was out there last August to see the 68000 native-code compiler (running under CP/M 68K). A few weeks later, Windsor Brown called me to tell me that there had been major upheavals (though he couldn't tell me much more than that). Some weeks after *that*, I got a letter from VS, asking me to return my review copy of Modula-2 (IBM-PC) or pay $300+. I returned it to their new, tiny offices in Pacific Beach, and that's the last that I've heard from them. ..bruce.. Bruce F. Webster/BYTE bang!crash!bwebster@nosc {ihnp4|sdcsvax!bang}!crash!bwebster
