[comp.sys.atari.st] German Modula-2: Problems with the built in Editor M2EDITOR.OBM

R_Tim_Coslet@cup.portal.com (09/22/89)

Anyone else trying to use the new German Modula-2 system (V1.4)?

I encountered a problem with the built in editor included with it
(M2EDITOR.OBM).  It edits files OK... once! If I edit an old file
it always seems to destroy the file when I save it.

All it leaves is one blank line!

Also it sometimes crashes and locks up the machine (no bombs, an
Alert from the Modula shell [continue] [abort] [debug], then lockup
and ONLY reset gets it out). (Don't remember the exact German words
in the buttons on the Alert... that was my "translation" of them).

Has anyone else encountered these problems? If so is there a fix...
or am I just doing something wrong (took German in HS... but don't
remember enough to be ABSOLUTLY sure I understand the doc.s :-).

I did notice something in the doc.s that looked like it said something
like "...this Editor is not yet 100% tested...".
