Hello world, My question is simple: WHICH IS THE BEST MODULA-2 FOR THE AMIGA? (or is there a PROPER Pascal compiler, not ISO v.0.0.0.000 ?) Any advice would be appreciated. Please answer directly, not via comp.sys.amiga, as i am no more on their list. Patrick favre_p@clsepf51.bitnet or, if it doesn't work... favre_p@elde.epfl.ch or even, using DECnet... 20520::favre_p Thanks

I'm running on a tight schedule, so I don't have time to tell you all the gorey details, but DO NOT BUY the TDI compiler. Just a sample: The latest release for the 'developer's' version was so carelessly put together that it included a Mac file in the demo source directory. Not to mention that it takes way too much memory to run, is slow and gives you utilities (in the developer's version) that are buggy. [I still remember reading the documentation for the kermit that was touted as being included with the compilier: "currently the send function is not implemented..."] That about sums-up the caliber of TDI's software.
