A few days ago, a friend told me about Logitech's ver 3 compiler. I don't know why I didn't here this directly from Logitech; but, if it does exist, is it a big improvement? And, should I shell out the bucks to buy it? I am currently using 2.30. All opinions are welcome. Thanks a bunch -- Terry Klarich (klarich@a.cs.okstate.edu) n5hts Remember: back up your disk so it won't crash These opinions are mine

The main advantage of Logitech Modula-2 version 3.0 is that it produces
optimized object code. It also contains a smarter linker that can remove
procedures that are never called. Hence, you will generally get smaller
and faster-running programs from version 3.0, compared to version 2.x.
The speed improvement, in my experience, is 10-20%. The space improvement
depends a lot on how many library modules you import and how many procedures
from each one you call.
