I am interested in finding a newer, faster M2 compiler for some applications created under the Logitech PC compiler. TopSpeed?, Stonybrook?, <other>?, is there a new Logitech? I'd appreciate any information and experience that you can share with me. Some specific questions I have in mind: > Is there a supplied module functionally equivalent (or close to) the Logitech FileSystem module? > Is there any difficulty substituting you own Terminal and InOut, etc, modules for those supplied? > Are CoRoutines supported? > Can the program gain control, at least in order to do some cleanup and error message output, upon an exception such as HALT, index out of range, etc. > Are string literals nulldelimited by the compiler? Does TopSpeed do this? > Is object code Mic****ft format? Libraries supported? other tools? > Is anything missing that I tend to take for granted as an expected part of a M2 implementation, eg, definition version enforcement, run time index and overflow checking, unlimited name sizes, etc? Thanks. Tom Breeden tmb@virginia.EDU -> Internet tmb@virginia -> Bitnet

Logitech also has the LogiFile module, which I find much faster. It seems it has most of the same functions but wasn't built on top of tons of other code. >Thanks. > > Tom Breeden >
