I would like the source of 'm2make'. Is it freely available? Also, is there a Modula-2 pretty-printer available? == Barry Cornelius == Address: Computer Science Group, School of Engineering and Applied Science, University of Durham, Durham, DH1 3LE, England Electronic Mail Addresses: JANET: Barry_Cornelius@uk.ac.dur.mts ARPANET: Barry_Cornelius%mts.dur.ac.uk@cs.ucl.ac.uk UUCP: ...ukc!mts.dur.ac.uk!Barry_Cornelius BITNET/EARN: Barry_Cornelius%DUR.MTS@AC.UK

The new SemperSoft Modula-2 compiler for the Macintosh comes with a Pretty Printer (including source). It's pretty vanilla (no Mac interface) and is derived from a Pascal pretty-printer by a fellow at Shell Oil. There is also a makefile maker in the package, but I don't believe the source is included for that one. Dennis Cohen Ashton-Tate Glendale Development Center dBASE Mac Development Team

I don't remember specifically seeing any pretty printers or make utilities in their library, but I wouldn't be surprised. Their stuff is of good quality and *very* reasonably priced. --alan@pdn [Barry: when can we expect a Modula-2 standard out of BSI, by the way?]

I've been using PMI's Repertoire windowing package for over a year now with great success. It's part of a product that I've written which is commercially available and selling well, due in part to the PMI package. The guys at PMI are helpful and very interested in what you're doing. My only complaint? Repertoire uses (actually, is BASED on) linked list data structures and if your compiler (are you listening, Logitech?) does lousy pointer transformations, your application CAN suffer. I'm beta testing a new Modula-2 compiler (can't say who) for the PC and they do a MUCH better job of dealing with pointers, so Repertoire is pretty nifty on it. If this Modula-2 compiler appears on the market in any reasonable time frame (as I expect it will), that combination will be pretty awesome! Too bad 'this company' didn't release their product before Logitech introduced their excluding linker... bruce bergman -- allegra!\ TeleSoft, Inc. gould9! \ crash!--\ (619) 457-2700 x123 ihnp4! \ \ >--sdcsvax!---->--telesoft!bruceb (Bruce Bergman N7HAW) nosc! / / scgvaxd! / log-hb!--/ 5959 Cornerstone Court West ucbvax! / San Diego, CA. 92121-9891 All expressed opinions belong to "Bill the Cat" or me. :^)
