[comp.lang.modula2] Any Amiga Mod2ers?

bstein@hpuxa.ircc.ohio-state.edu (Brian T. Stein) (03/09/91)

At last just started to program on the Amiga.  Since I've been learning
Modula-2 in my courses, that's it.  I was wondering if Benchmark is the 
compiler that I should get.  But, I really _really_ would like to talk
with some Amiga Mod2 programmers.

Thanks.

Brian

E-Mail would be the best way to get back to me.....

I prefer the M2Sprint compiler (available from same source as Benchmark 
no) because you get all the libraries, instead of having t buy htem 
peace-meel, and most of all, you get ALL THE SOURCE CODE TO THEM!!!  You 
get no source code in Benchmark, but you do get the source level debugger
 (purchased separately again I bel4eive).

Hi Brian,
        I'm a computer science major and all my experience has been 
programming on the PC platform.  I have saved some money and I think I'm gonna 
purchase an AMIGA 3000.  I want to know what type of compliers are available 
and could you give me some info on the various M2 compliers out there for the 
AMIGA.

I'm a Amiga user and I program it in Modula-2.
Hope you get this message, cause I sit in the Fido-Net.

Bye, Markus

Hi Markus,
        I was thinking about buying an Amiga but I have one question, what is 
the quality of the available M2 compliers?(C, Pascal, Asm?)  I had one about 3 
to 4 years ago and I would only play games on it.  Now I'm really into 
programming and I was thinking of buying a 3000.
 
Richard

Help!

I have a Modula-2 compiler for the Amiga.

It was produced by TDI software.  I previously believed that this
company had gone out of business.  However, now I see this excerpt from
a post:

I prefer the M2Sprint compiler (available from same source as Benchmark
no) because you get all the libraries, instead of having t buy htem
peace-meel, and most of all, you get ALL THE SOURCE CODE TO THEM!!!  You
get no source code in Benchmark, but you do get the source level debugger
 (purchased separately again I bel4eive).

TDI sent me a disk a few years ago that promoted M2Sprint.

If you have any information regarding M2Sprint or the company that sells
(or sold) it, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

M2Sprint was originally written by M2S, but they went belly-up, it is
now supported by Preferred Tech.  I really like M2Sprint, although the
debugger is just a post-mortem debugger, not a true source-level
interactive debugger.  M2Sprint sells fro around 190 bucks for the
complete package.
