Has anyone out there successfully interfaced Logitech Modula-2 with
Windows? I have been playing around with the Windows libraries and
some neat stuff can be done. Unfortunately, right now, what I have
only works when programming in C.
I have managed to get the Modula-2 programs compiled and then linked
using link4, but Windows complains that they are too big to run.
Is there a Window guru who could point out what I am doing wrong?

In comp.lang.modula2 you write: > Has anyone out there successfully interfaced Logitech Modula-2 with > Windows?

MS-C has a option named -Gw or something like that (look up your manual!). This option encapsules every function in a windows-specific prolog and epilog. > I have managed to get the Modula-2 programs compiled and then linked > using link4, but Windows complains that they are too big to run. > Is there a Window guru who could point out what I am doing wrong? I'm afraid your Modula-compiler doesn't know about a MS-specific prolog/ epilog, so your compiler is not able to generate windows-programs at all. (I posted yesterday for a research for a compiler that support windows. We'll see what I'll get.) I hope it hit you not too hard, but I'm afraid there's no way! (Perhaps a real guru will find a hack, but I don't beleive, because the prolog/epilog-structure must be embedded deep in the code-generator of the compiler and I haven't ever seen the source of a Modula-Compiler.)

The source of a modula 2 compiler is widely available through DECUS. It's written in Modula 2 (of course), and is essentially the ETH compiler. So it's back to the issue of whether a Windows guru can be found to fix up the special stuff. Steve J.
