You *must* consider support. > This is a formal appology. I did not mean that Modula 2 is the world's cure all, I just cant figure out why you're so hostile to Public Domain software. Being a broke hacker, I was delighted that such performance in a compiler was available free. I didn't realize that in order to write a saleable product one always had to purchase the production software. You are correct that support is important, and I wish ETHZ was able to provide more. Still some support isn't worth the phone call, and others are great. I don't worry about it, I know in advance that I am the guy that has to figure it out one way or another. keith
