[I am posting this message for a co-worker that doesn't have usenet access. PLEASE DON'T REPLY TO TO THE NET. I posted this to a few newsgroups (sorry), and I don't want to be responsible for cluttering them up. Respond to me (paths at .signature below), and if anyone expresses an interest, I'll post a summary to comp.lang.modula2, as well as routing this to the author.] @ Out of personal curiosity, I am wondering how much interest there is @ in developing applications for Microsoft Windows using Modula-2. @ @ Not everybody wants to use 'C', most noteably, the European market. @ While it is possible to use Microsoft Pascal for such applications, @ this route is not for the faint of heart. @ @ Currently, StonyBrook Inc. produces a Modula-2 compiler that is @ capable of working in the Microsoft Windows environment, but they @ have not yet put together all of the proper modules for making this @ as painless as it could be. Logitech Inc. has also expressed an @ interest in incorporating Windows compatibility into their Modula-2 @ compiler. @ @ What I am interested in, answers to the following questions from @ parties who are interested in using Modula-2 for writing applications @ for Microsoft Windows: @ @ 1. How interested are you in writing Modula-2 applications for @ Microsoft Windows? @ @ 2. Have you evaluated the possibility yourself, if so, to what end? @ @ 3. Are you currently programming in Modula-2? @ @ 4. What Modula-2 Compiler do you use? @ @ 5. What type of applications do you write? -Lee ________ 01001100 Lee Fisher, Microsoft Corp., Redmond, WA. 01000101 leefi@microsof.beaver.washington.EDU 01000101 leefi%microsof@uw-beaver.ARPA leefi@microsof.UUCP 01000110 {decvax,decwrl,intelca,sco,sun,trsvax,uunet,uw-beaver}!microsof!leefi 01001001 My opinions are my *OWN*, not those of my employer!
