From: Dave Godwin <godwin@ICSE.UCI.EDU> Hi folks. I've been using TDI's Modula-2 compiler/system for almost a year now, and while I've not had much time to play with it, it seems to me to be a very good product. The company is based in England, and due to recent developments we'll see more of then here in the states. TDI was for a very long time a parter company to Pinnacle Systems Inc. in Dallas. The first place I ever saw TDI Modula-2 was on my Pinnacle, and I'm not surprised that TDI was able to move it onto another 68K based machine. A few months back, Pinnacle and TDI merged to form Pinnacle-TDI, and this combination firm is selling the new Pinnacle XL in Europe (especially England) like they were flapjacks. All in all, I've always had marvelous relations with both companies, and would venture to say that the Modula-2 for the Amiga will be a decent product. (No flames if I'm wrong. The stuff all works on my Pinnacle.) Hope this helps. Dave Godwin University of California, Irvine
