The Stony Brook Professional Modula2 *DOES* support programming for DOS, Windows, and OS/2 in one package.

There have been several suggestions for this programmer in distress to move to Modula-2 from Turbo Pascal in order to program for Windows. There is/was a translator from Turbo Pascal (can't remember which version) to Modula-2 available from Logitech. This might help do most of the work. Perhaps other netters know of other solutions...

Statements about them or their >competitors cannot be totally without bias. Great. All DOS products need to support Windows these days. Remember, however, that the original poster was starting out with some Turbo Pascal code. If I were in that position, I would rather port from Pascal to Modula2 that from Pascal to C (translators notwithstanding). Don Pajerek
