{} Hi, I saw an advertisement today about Logitech Modula-2 for VAX/VMS. Have any of you used this product? How is it? Does it have a complete interface to the Run-Time Library and System calls? Does the compiler gernerate good code? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, --Roger -- Roger Terrell ...musky2!terrell (UUCP) terrell@muskingum.edu (CSNet)

I've been using Logitech m-2 for VMS for about a year and a half now at our institution. It has a complete interface to the system calls and the screen manager calls, not for the lib$ calls however, and you must specify ALL arguements, forget about option arguements unless you specify your own implementation module. As for code quality, it seems to be pretty good except for the odd things it does to preserve variable scope. For example if you pass an array of whatever by reference, it makes a local copy of the array in the subroutine. Patrick Spinler pspinler%mkvax1@msus1.bitnet
