Subject: Re: Modula 2 for CP/M

[]
       I have a copy of FTL Modula for CP/M, and it works as advertised,
but . . . . . .

       1)      It is written to adhere to Wirth's _THIRD_ edition of the
manual, which has a _lot_ of differences from the _Second_ edition, which
most other Modulas adhere to.

       2)      It has a non-standard library, which makes for some severe
portability problems.  Modules which compile fine in Volition (UCSD p-System),
Logitech, and TURBO CP/M Modula-2, _don't_ in FTL without changes.

       I also have a copy of Borland's Turbo M2 (available from Echelon, Inc.,
835 N. San Antonio Rd., Los Altos  CA  94022; (415) 948-3820), and it is as
nice in every way as their Pascal, and nicer in that you can build much bigger
programs.  It is about $70.00  (they take plastic money).
