[comp.os.cpm] MODULA-2 for CP/M 2.2 w/Z-80?

Cent.Mbeck@OZ.AI.MIT.EDU.UUCP (04/11/87)

Hello -

     I'm looking for recommendations for a MODULA-2 compiler to run
under CP/M 2.2 .  Pointers to reviews, discussions, comments, and
flames on different vendor's implementations are more than welcome.

Regards,

Mark Becker

The May issue of MicroCornucopia examines the two Z-80 Modula-2 compliers,
FTL Modula2 from Workman & Associates, and Borlands Turbo Modula 2.  They
were both judged to have their strong points but according to the people at
W&A, the benchmark used did not take into account the greater accuracy of
FTL modula which increased the code size..

Turbo Modula-2 from Echelon has been a good choice. I have used Turbo
Pascal for some time but I decided to use TM-2 as my main system after
a few weeks experience. I am using a KAYPRO-10 and have had no problems
at all (yet). 
 
There has been reviews in Micro Cornucopia (end of 1986, begin of 1987 ?).
Have a look at the modula2 newsgroup too.
