[comp.sys.atari.st.tech] MiNT vs TDI Modula-2

arktik@nro.cs.athabascau.ca (11/02/90)

I am really impressed with the MiNT kernel, however, I am still waiting 
for some brilliant Modula-2 programmer to create some modules to access 
the calls from this system.  The reason it presents a problem is that the 
version of TDI Modula-2 I am using (Release 2.00a, I got it second hand, 
so I don't know anything about the upgrade policy, can anyone fill me in 
on this?) will not let me do GEMDOS calls via their number, they must be 
the ones prepackaged in the GEMDOS library.

I know it could be done with the CODE and SETREG statements, but I really 
do not want, or feel a need, to fire up Devpac, assembly up some code, 
dissasembly, and fool around for several hours, just to do something that 
TDI should already have packaged in with the system.

It would sure be nice to have a MiNT library for Modula-2, has anybody 
done this yet?  Will anybody do this?  Or am I on my own?  In my opinion 
the language (which is Multitasking in nature in the first place) and 
MiNT are a perfect combination.

Thanks ahead of time,
