> Has anyone recieved their 3.0 of JPI's Modula-2? Is it any
good? Any new neat things about it? Just wanted to get some
imput.
The environment has changed for the better. The rest of the
compiler seems to be a clean up of ver. 2.x. They seem to have
added more pragmas to give you more control. The project system
has changed. It is a lot more powerful but will take a little
getting used to. You don't have to have 15 million project files
hanging around for every little module. That's great in itself.
They have also added a regular overlay memory model in addition to
the DLL model. I haven't messed with it yet but it looks like it
will be easier to use than DLL's. All this stuff is mentioned in
the ads but it comes across a lot nicer when you use it.
